Never too late to start writing!
No matter how old you are, or how old you feel, it’s never too late to start writing. Just look at Harry Bernstein! At the ripe young age of 93, faced with lonliness after the passing of his wife, he decided to start writing as a way to deal with the loss and other ghosts from his past. The result turned out to be the novel The Invisible Wall. He says he doesn’t worry about little details like deadlines, he just writes until there’s nothing more to say. He’s now 96 and working on yet another book.
Surely Mr. Bernstein is an inspiration to all of us in the "younger generation." In fact, I felt guilty after reading the article about him by the Associated Press. All my excuses and procrastination some how seem petty when compared to what Mr. Berstein has accomplished.
The other lesson found in Mr. Berstein’s story is that you never know where your writing will take you. What started out as a form of therapy for him, turned into a new career as a novelist. He didn’t sit down one day and say "I’m going to write a novel now." So even if you think you’re writing crap, don’t give up on it because you never know how it’s going to turn out, or who’s going to like it.
My hat goes off to Mr. Berstein as he proves that the art of writing is something for all ages to enjoy!
