For some jobs, your age does matter, but it is never too late to become a writer. Many of us love writing, but due to other commitments in life, we simply do not get the time to commit to developing into skilled writers.
As long as you have determination, then you can become a writer at any age. Many famous writers began writing after their 20s, such as J K Rowling in her early thirties, Mark Twain was 41 and Millard Kaufman, a cartoonist, published his first book at 90!
If you are still interested in becoming a writer, why not go for it, whatever your age?
With enough perseverance and dedication, you can reach your dreams eventually.
To be a success, you just need to make sure that you have developed the necessary skills before trying to become a writer.
Writing is a craft that can be learned if you put your mind to it and put in a lot of effort. You should be clear about your objectives and remember that positive thinking can help you achieve positive results.
You need to have a strong desire to succeed in writing, which will provide the necessary drive for you to keep trying until you are successful.
