When I'm asked what I do and reply that I'm a writer, people tend to react in one of two ways. Either they tell me they're thinking of writing a book too, and proceed to describe it in detail, or they express surprised admiration because they understand that it's hard to write a book and even harder to get it published. The surprise goes up a notch when I confide that I was in my 50s before I even attempted to pen a novel, and without any background or training in creative writing.
