Yours is a wonderful and inspiring story, thank you for sharing it and supporting other authors. My first book will be published in March 2026... and I am 57, and have been writing since I was a child. Gotta keep following and working towards that dream! 💕

Thank you! I used to be so hard on myself about what I haven't achieved yet, but it's been so rewarding to let that go, to find peace in the here and now, and see the whole, big, messy but beautiful picture. And 57 certainly isn't too late for a first book - huge congratulations on sticking it out and working towards the dream :) xx

We are our own worst critics at times, aren't we? And thanks. ☺️
