Eva’s Byte #473 – Late Bloomers
Just as there are late-summer blooming flowers such as the black-eyed Susan, cone flower, daylily, sunflower, and aster—to mention some-there are late-blooming writers.
Annie Proulx, whose first novel, Postcards, won the Faulkner award, started writing at the age of 57.
Laura Ingalls Wilder, whose most notable work is the children’s book series, The Little House on the Prairie, got started at the age of 65.
Raymond Chandler published The Big Sleep, his hardboiled detective fiction, at the age of 50.
Frank McCourt wrote Angela’s Ashes, his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, in his early 60s.
In the capacity of a writer, I wrote and published my first novel in the genre of Contemporary Women’s Fiction, at the age of 57, five years after retiring from a teaching career.
At this point in time I’m at the tail end of drafting chapter 58 (499 words thus far) in my current Contemporary work in progress.
*It’s never too late to come into bloom.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
