''How do I start my career as a Novelist and Poet''?

How can I learn more about creating art and story’s behind my art?
I want to grow to be an Artist because I’ve always been interested in the way animators create shows and how artist create drawing/painting that always had a story behind them. I want to learn more about the human anatomy so I can be better at realism and more about how animators draw in cartoony styles for short stories and funny scenes. I would also like to learn how to get better and writing stories for my characters, I can make short pieces and scenes of a story but I’m not very good at creating a actual narrative/story for them. Thank you and I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
How do I get better at intricate writing?
I have been wanting to be an author since I could read and have always been a bookworm and admired other authors for their intricate and insightful words. I want to inspire people all around the world, not just in English but in other languages to.
What job should I get to save up for the career I want?
I'm 13 (a bit young to be thinking about these things, I know, but might as well plan this now!) and live in the Philippines. I want to move to a country with a better film industry one day because I want to write shows and films. My original plan was to do a dual degree for psychology and film, move to Singapore for a while and save up the money to then eventually move to a country with a bigger film industry. However I heard that it could take up to seven years or more to do that, which I don't think will work for me very well. I want to start my career as soon as possible. Hopefully to be in the US or some other country by the time I'm in my late 20. I can't do maths very well, so I think with the time to graduate and the time to save up to move, I would be in my early thirties by the time I get to start my career in film. Are there any other alternatives? What would be the best job for me to pursue before I start the career I want? I heard becoming an electrician doesn't take long and pays okay. Should I stick with my current plan? I also want enough time to work on side projects. (Apologies if this isn't very coherent. I am rather tired today!)

Where can I find feedback on my poetry and other forms of creative writing?
I would like to get feedback on my writing in order to improve it. Especially for when I want submit pieces to literary magazines. I want to know if there are online communities I should join or websites I should look into. Ideally I would like to get feedback for free, but maybe could work out a small budget.
