1. Teen Read Week ends tomorrow. Everything was already planned--including prizes to award at the events.
2. The author bio on the book flap mentioned the birth year. I would have passed over in a typical "hmm" as I usually do except that I jolted when I realized the birth year was well after mine!
3. Not only does that mean that I've not reached an age when I'm actually older than authors, but it means I really could have been publishing my own works years ago and no one would have said anything to my age.
4. Which leads to the last problem--at least the last that currently comes to mind. I haven't completed any of my own works, yet, anyhow.

You will! Just think about all the authors who didn't start until their 40s or later...
Heidi-I am currently reading The Heretic's Daughter by Kathleen Kent, which she wrote after she turned 50. It is wonderfully written, all the details just right, and has such depth. Kent said she had never written/published anything prior to this. Kent also said she wrote it when she felt she was ready and had enough confidence to do so.
Do not be discouraged by younger authors getting published. I firmly believe that you will write & finish your book once you are ready.
Thanks, ladies!
