I'm 17 and I want to be a TV writer but I'm scared I won't make it

It's okay to be scared but it's not okay for fear to prevent you from doing something you want.

But you've learned a lot about writing, you've learned a lot about working hard, and those are valuable things that will help you regardless of what you end up doing for a living. So in my mind you should go for it, because you can't lose.
