How long was it before you started writing your own music?

Hey all,
Was just hoping to get some personal experiences here. How long did you learn/practice others' music before you went on to writing and making your own stuff? I haven't been playing long. Been teaching myself guitar and drums for a few months with books and the internet. My "grandiose" goal is to be able to write some of my own stuff, and perform/record it. I just feel like I'm unable to make that leap from looking up tabs/chords and learning them to coming up with my own stuff. Any advice? How long did it take before you were able to come up with your own drum beats or guitar chords/riffs? Love to hear peoples experiences.
Thanks!
