My current pet theory is that people who spent their teens in the pursuit of beautiful personal writing (even if it’s really purple teenage angst) turn out to be better adult writers than those who don’t.

The sort that makes you go “damn, that’s a hell of a sentence” 😬
This is nothing more than a pet theory, but I’d like to think that all serious writers go through a phase where they attempt to dress up their writing a bit.

It feels like this would certainly be a strong autocorrelation. I just wanted to play video games in HS. Any kid that was pursuing beautiful writing in HS is an alien. I'd expect them to be good writers forever.
