>tfw started writing again
It's been a while. Used to love it, but got burned out from exams at the end of high school (they're pretty intense here), didn't write much through college, now 26 and just wrote pages and pages of stuff earlier. Felt like meeting an old friend again, I loved it.
I feel like I've missed a few important years for developing style though, any advice on how to get up to speed?

Write a dirty pleasure first.
What you love and yearn for, what makes you feel good.
Worry about others later.
The moment you push yourself into the "Writing for others" cycle you'll find yourself burned out of it again.

Developing style? Missing years? That's not what this is about at all; It comes or it doesn't come, that's it. I guarantee that the way you write has changed, and I guarantee that it will never stop changing. It is a living being inside of you. Not you, but the voice in your head. A twin that knows everything about you. Now be frank with that twin and you've already mastered "style".
Damn, that sure sounded easy. Too bad, not everyone's head goblin is actually useful. But it can still reach people in other ways, like writing extremely simple eye-glaze prose!

OP here
You're right, that's great advice, thanks guys

I am in a period of relative isolation and I feel like it warps any perspective I have on people, things people do, people that I know but grow tired of. It feels ugly, and I don't like it and I feel like this is where I should write from atm

Just remember that we're all hypocrites, and you'll do fine.
