A twenty-one-year-old writer is likely to be inhibited by a lack of usable experience. Childhood and adolescence were something I knew.

Summary

This quote suggests that a young writer at the age of twenty-one might struggle with their writing due to a limited range of experiences. The author acknowledges that they are familiar with their childhood and teenage years, which may imply that these periods were their main source of inspiration and material for writing. In contrast, as a young adult, they might feel hindered by the lack of diverse and substantial life experiences, which could limit the depth and breadth of their writing.
