Don't get me wrong, by all means do it. Too many that should don't try. Usually because of peer pressure. Don't be defeated before you try.
The world needs more.
Don't kick yourself in the arse years on saying you should have done this or that.
Anyone can be a critic (it's the easiest job in the world).
A friend whose opinion I really respect "hates" my writing, (I write Science Fiction). He says it's hard to follow.
I just tell him that my style is a little taxing for the "blunt".
