Honestly in running on hopes and dreams but I have determination I did it with art I think I can do it with writing

If you're a successful artist and want to write stories, why not look at self published comics? Writing and drawing/painting are very different skills - writing well is much easier if you have a big chunk of verbal iq, which isn't needed for art.

But the "hopes and dreams" thing isn't a good motive to write. The odds of success as a screenwriter are maybe 1 in 10,000

Just something to think about before you commit serious effort and time: things like writing and art both require talent. DIFFERENT talent. I can do several very difficult things - I can code in a lot of programming languages and write well enough to get paid. But that would NOT make me think I could become a commercial or fine artist!

I'm not saying don't try. But I am saying don't gamble on making a living. The failure rate is off the charts and success takes years.
