Mary, I absolutely love reading your stories! I am so very happy that you have bravely entered this part of your life and are willing to share your creativity with us!
I’ve been writing all my life, and now it’s like I’m beginning again, with all the awkwardness and insecurity I thought I had shed for good. The imagined audience is somewhat of a hindrance to what I really want to say, but as usual, Mary, your reflections light the way for me to find what it is I really want to say.
Oh and at 73, I am acutely aware I am not gonna live forever. Less acutely aware, I am not gonna be famous either. But I am going to be true to my process and see where that takes me.
Yes, yes!! I agree. It is truly such a wondrous thing that at age 63, I am a debut author. It is so fun that I never gave up my dream Thank you, Wendy!

Awww, thank you Sweet Friend. I love the comments and stories yourself and others include.
“Late in Life Writer”. I love this…There are so many people starting new careers at later ages today. I think it’s healthy and wonderful.
Thank you, Susan! Yes, I think it's so lovely to know that new careers, new avenues of creativity, are always a possibility.

Oh my stars, such sacred words, "I'm going to be true to my process and see where that takes me." Thank you for that.
It's much better to get to writing late than not at all, isn't it? I'm with you in that club!
Yes, yes!! I agree. It is truly such a wondrous thing that at age 63, I am a debut author. It is so fun that I never gave up my dream Thank you, Wendy!
