~Age and Writing~


As a writer, do you consider age as detrimental? I used to write as a youngster and into my teen years. Then life ignited into a whirlwind romance with my now husband. Between birthing 5 children I did pick up pen and paper, but it was preposterous when I had all these little arms grabbing for me. 




11 Authors Who Weren't Published Until After the Age of...


  5. Dead and loving it.
I found the article here:

I've come to a conclusion ~ Age Doesn't Matter. 



  1. I don't know how writers with young kids and jobs and all that do it. I couldn't write if we had kids.
    My first book didn't come out until I was in my mid-forties. I see I am in good company.

  2. I heard a 95 year old man respond to the question, "How do you say so active?" He said, "I don't let the old guy move in." I'm not letting the old woman move in.

  3. Dean Koontz once said he didn't believe a writer could even write until his/her 30s...not enough life experience. I don't know if that's true, but I have found that writing is one thing that doesn't have an age limit.

  4. I used to write a lot when I was younger, but I never tried to get published. With age came the wisdom to know what to do. I don't know how folks with full time jobs and kids do it either!

  5. Yeah... I think the older you are, the more seasoned you probably are...but then I have seen some older people who've just jumped into the writing world and have a long way to go with their prose. Still, I think the maturity and life experience does wonders.

  6. Age definitely doesn't matter when the person's a writer. I don't know how people with families, especially young children, find time to write.

  7. Age improves your writing:) Think about it, the more experiences you have, the better:) Although kids seriously complicate a writer's life;)
