I began writing a novel at 16 and put it down after 3 (probably terrible) chapters. After that I didn’t write another word until 3 years ago at the age of 47! I’m still not done with my ya science fiction, but I keep chipping away at it and hope one day it will be good enough to publish.
Wrote a sci-fi novella in 3 weeks… 24 years ago. Now working a fantasy. It will get there but it’s gonna take a couple years for sure before I even finish the first draft. Not easy with kids but been on it since July and about 25kw and plot is just starting to move so not worried. Do have to fix a whole chapter and might need to actually find someone to help me with it. Just need to get it done.
Kids do complicate things, less free time, more things to worry about. But 25K in couple months is a good pace, enough to keep up your momentum, congratulations!
I’m so happy you are writing again! I always look forward to your new content 👏👏👏
Awe, thank you 🙏
I’m hurtling towards 50 and only decided to start writing a couple of months ago. We’ll see how it goes 😊Thanks for the video!
That's great! Plenty of runway left, and a lot of life experience to draw from.

That’s the way to do it, and you’re just a kid 😝, you have plenty of time to hone your craft, polish your manuscript and get it out into the world.
