What a delightful reminder that age is merely a number and there's a lot of living and writing to do in "retirement." Love your work, Sherrey and add me to the line of people waiting to read your memoir. Thanks for featuring Sherrey, Madeline.

It would be sad for all that pent-up talent to go to waste because of some silly idea that we're too old. We have the experience, wisdom, and the understanding that comes with age and adds richness and insight to what we write. Here's to us older writers who refuse to let age defeat our dream to be published authors.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05051292345487018171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773382509071881565.post-50683541177370604782013-09-12T13:02:59.011-07:002013-09-12T13:02:59.011-07:00Sherry's words definitely relate to me.

What a treasure I'm sure they are!<br /><br />Shirley, kudos to you for publishing that book.

As I was writing my memoir, I urged my mom to write her stories too. At 87, with macular degeration, Mom wrote many memories I cherish.

I spoke with a friend this morning who is having a great deal of trouble with arthritis in her hands, and it's keeping her from writing--and she's in her 40s! <br /><br />Thanks for championing the over-50 crowd, Sherrey--we ALL have a great deal of life left!Change It Up Editinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06881407070560189302noreply@blogger.com
