Well... once you get paid for any creative writing, there are professional organizations you can join to get you access to resources and beta readers (somewhat reliant on genre, but there are quite a few).

Don't worry about running out of time. You're still young. Twain didn't get his start until 41, Richard Adams at 52, Tolkien at 45. You're doing fine.

Yeah, I was holding out for bigger publishers, thinking my work was too important for something smaller (it's a very personal story and the majority of it is true) but at this point if I get an offer, no matter how small (one company only has 4 employees), I think I'll take it.
