@juliansummerhayes For what it’s worth, I don’t think it’s ever too late. I didn’t publish my first book till I was 42 (translation) and my first book of poetry didn’t come out till I was 44, which is later than most poets. Now, with a total of six books published and another in the works, I can honestly say I have a writing career, not a money-making one, but a career nonetheless, something I never thought would happen when I was in my 30s.
