You have to WANT to do it, otherwise it's hopeless. If it's not fun to do...consider it over. I play music because I LOVE doing it. Sometimes I play for fun and sometimes I play for $$, either way it's better than cleaning floors at the college in town. I would suggest being in a band with your close friends if you're young and want to write your own tunes. It rarely works out if you're not friends with the people in your band.

Check out the local music stores, many will post ads on a wall like 'bassist looking for punk band'. As far as writer's block, that can be tough to overcome. Think about songs you like, what are they singing about? What experience can you talk about? Usual topics are about love. Broken hearts, hurtful b!tches, revenge, and so on. Try to think of original topics if you want to set yourself apart.
Don't give up on your dream. I did. Last band I was in was 30 years ago. I still think back and remember the awesome times. The gigs, the crowds, hell we even had groupies. But you also have to support the family, and sometimes you have to make choices. Try not to let egos get in the way, keep flexible as to what style you do, how many times have you heard kick *** groups break up because of "creative differences". That's music talk for "We were too stubborn to listen". Good luck, rock on.
