I want to publish my own manga too and it has been a really long time since I wanted to do this. I am 24 now and it was nearly 10 years ago since I watched my first anime (Cardcaptor Sakura) and started drawing girls (^_^;). I still draw occasionally but since I am working now, I am not sure if I can make the transition (⌣_⌣”) and wondering whether it is too late. ｡ﾟ(ﾟ∩´﹏`∩ﾟ)ﾟ｡
