I’m a 59-year-old debut author who recently published "Nine Lives", a collection born out of late beginnings, caregiving, and the long years of holding down a full-time job.
I waited a lifetime before I could take that creative leap. And here you are—already walking the path I only recently dared to choose.
Your post sparked an idea: what if we explored both sides of the creative journey in a short, cross-generational piece—something like “Pressure, and the Price We Pay” or even “The Great Leap”?
If it makes sense, I'd love to connect. Even a podcast could be interesting. Truth be told, I’ve never gone live like that—it fills me with dread. But what the hell, maybe it's time to try.
Even this message is a bit of a leap to me. But i guess there is always the first step. In any case, do let me know what you think. I have already subscribed and you can consider emailing to me as well in case you want a more detailed discussion
We get the right answer only when we execute. I am in government job where I have good chances of growth over my career. But I feel, at the end of my days what will be the thing I will see as my creation. Nothing. I feel scared that I will have to put more hardwork but I feel it will be worth building something of my own. Thanks for being honest and showing the blind side of enterpreneurship especially that of a content creator
