From the e-mail pile today:
Whenever I hear about a "new" novelist, they turn out to be in their 30s. Why is that? It seems like you hear about new musicians and actors and other creative people in when they are in their 20s.
Excellent question. Leaving aside the mechanics of why it pays to be young in the music and acting industries, here's what's up with those old new novelists:
Well this article gives me some serious relief about why I haven't finished, editied and published my novel yet. I've still written a fair chunk and I have published a fair amount of poetry but it's hard, it really is, especially when after years of writing, research, self-searching and more you realise it isn't upto scratch and you're going to have to start again. Still I will continue as I am now way too old to be anything else.
