Disclaimer: I wasn't sure where to post a question like this, and this heading seems to encompass pretty much everything, so if it's in the wrong place I apologize.
Getting to my question requires a little background. I'm seventeen years old, and will turn eighteen in three months, so the time has come for me to begin seriously thinking about my life moving forward. I love writing, enjoy editing and proofreading, and have been told I'm good at both. Ideally, this is where I would like my career to be (world-famous writer would be great, but decently-paid editor works too) but I don't know where to begin. I've heard that the best way to enter the market is to have connections. I've also heard that a large portion of it is luck. If anyone has stories about how they broke in or advice on how I can, I would greatly appreciate if you shared it.
