Too late to start writing? Never.
Great links as always.
Alex–Thanks for coming by!
I’m with you–I think writers improve as they get older.
Thanks for including the link to my blog! And I agree it’s never too late. I’ve published 20 books since turning 60 and have had two others published by a children’s book publisher. If I can do it, anyone can. :)
Heather–That’s amazing! Congratulations on all your after-60 success! Definitely inspirational.
