Nope. Until my sophomore year of college, I planned to be a vet. When I passed out during a sheep surgery, I knew that wasn't going to happen. Writing wasn't even on my radar until 15 years after that fainting spell.
Find your tribe. Whether that be a local writing group or a critique group (I am blessed with both), having other people to cheer you on in your successes and come alongside you during those hard days is priceless. My crit partners have become some of my best friends!
