Love this idea and hearing more about your journeys! I think there’s a misconception that publishing young is a requirement or the norm. But you can obviously start whenever. Even as someone who was always writing and wanted to be a writer, I was 37 when I sold my first novel and 40 when I went full-time. It takes as long as it takes! And I’m often grateful for the experience and perspective I had when it finally happened.
