@chelseymooreauthor: Here’s your reminder that the average author doesn’t publish their first book until their mid-to-late thirties, and many don’t reach a bestseller list until their forties or fifties. Keep going. #inspirational #authorsoftiktok #authorlife #authortok #booklover

It should be said Suzanne Collins also had a long career in children’s media too. She’s lead a full career pre Hunger Games

I was 68 when I wrote my bestseller The Deadly Detective Agency. My 10th in the cozy series has just come out. It helps to be retired!!

theres a reason for it usually too. as you get older, the experiences you have and the things youve learned enrich your writing and give you more to work with for your world building. most of these people had education that extended beyond just vocabulary lessons and sentence structure.

This was so refreshing. I am only 20 and I feel so behind already. I really need to slow down and just enjoy the writing process. There’s a reason their works are so wonderful and great things take time ❤️❤️❤️

growing up with a dad who's a writer i know it can take sometimes a whole decade to finally finish a novel. I've published some short stories with his help but I'm working now on my first attempt at a novel at 37 and I'm 75 pages into a first draft 2 months in. Slow and steady is the way.
