When did people start writting?
The Deposed King:
2004 I found Baen's Bar. The sneak peak at what the authors were writing was awsome. Then I stumbled on the slush pile and realized anyone could pen a story and have others look at it.
I've been doodling around ever since. Now I'm on amazon. I would probably say go with baen if you're looking for a publisher but I have no great expertise. They just got on the web first and had the most advanced outlook on ebooks and web presence.

the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:
I've been writing one night a week - four times out of five on a Friday - regularly since mid-1995. (cenwolf, if that's before you were alive, i shall feel old. I was halfway through my PhD at that point.)
Since which point I have; written 450,000 words of a Christian-mythos fantasy novel that's probably unsellable because of how pre-9/11 its world is, which I would probably split into a trilogy, and would count as "finished" bar a revision pass on the last 50kwords, but it's hard to make motivate myself to do that; written a lost-colony-world novel; written four-and-a-bit novels* and one short story in wildly different corners and periods of an SF future ranging from the 2030s to 28,000 AD (there are three more planned for that setting, the latest one being three million years in the future); written chunks of two fantasy novels; and most recently written two more space operas** in a New! Shiny! Universe! in which I think I have closely-linked series material for several more novels.
*This includes the book I refer to as The Thing I Should Be Working On.
**This includes the book I refer to as The Thing I Want To Work On.

R. S. Leergaard:
For those of you who might become frustrated, look here http://www.ursulakleguin.com/Reject.html to see what an editor once wrote concerning a manuscript submitted by Ursula K. Le Guin. The manuscript? The Left Hand of Darkness which went on to win both Hugo and Nebula awards.
R. S. Leergaard:
For myself, I started writing seriously (though not seriously, most of my stories are light fantasy) in 2004. I've got around a dozen or so short stories, one NaNoWriMo attempt, one set of stories submitted, but not yet accepted, at Kindle, and one semi-serious wip (currently standing at around 40,000 - 50,000 words, I haven't done a word count lately). :D
