Wrote years ago and starting out again.
To another writer:
I empathize with your current position, Jeyna. I had some mild success writing in my twenties, while I was in college. From my earliest memories, I always thought that I would be a writer. Well, because of decisions that I made and the circumstances that followed, I postponed my dreams of writing. In my late twenties; I had responsibilities for my first wife and family, so I pursued making a living. With her passing, in my thirties; I married again, and again had responsibilities with a new wife. This path took me into my forties. It was not until my late forties and fifties did I return to finish college and then a graduate degree. When I retired from my job I started to think about writing. If you have it in your blood I don't think the idea of writing ever leaves you, whether you pursue it or not. Now in my sixties, I have begun to write again and am at present, working on a mystery novel. My experiences throughout my life are giving me much to draw on. If given the opportunity to do things over again, I would choose to do things the same. I cherish the memories of my families and our life together. But, I believe that I don't merely choose to write, I have to write. If you are a writer, you will write. It's just like that. Thank you for reminding me of that.

Hi Mystic Dee., I absolutely agree, when you are a writer, whether you write or not, the itch never leaves until you finally scratch it . And I also believe that age is the writers best friend it lends a hearty stock of experiences to draw upon as well as the deeper understandings of life.

Part Irish, Part Italian. What a combination. My Father’s Father came from County Wicklow, Ireland. My mother’s people came from Calabria, Italy.
In America my Mom lived across the street from where West Side story was filmed. My Dad came from Hell’s Kitchen; across the street from the Actor’s Church. They were both rough places to grow up. I think they met at a church event.
