Given that I've heard that writing production starts decreasing by age 60, and realizing that other writers who are younger than I am have already surpassed me in number of books written, I found the following Yahoo movie blurb reassuring:

E. Annie Proulx (rhymes with "true"), who wrote the story 'Brokeback Mountain' that the screenplay closely follows, didn't become a novelist until the age of 50. Eight years later, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her book 'The Shipping News.'

I'm a late bloomer

I'm hoping that my tendency to get to things later than everyone else helps me out here. Didn't learn to ride a bike until I was 8. Learned to swim at 11, and didn't learn to drive until I was 21. I didn't start writing until my early 30s.

Gotta keep pushing out that finish line...
