Feeling old? Look what these two did at 50 & 64

Think you're too old to start writing for a living?

Maybe you just need a little inspiration.

Look what these two late bloomers did...

Late bloomer #1:
Bram Stoker

During much of his lifetime, Stoker was better known for being an actor's personal assistant and theatre manager.

Stoker wrote some short stories in his late twenties and early thirties, and a guide to the duties of clerks.

Then at the age of 43, he published The Snake's Pass. Not a huge hit.

It would be another seven years before Stoker wrote Dracula.

At age 50.

And get this, when Stoker asked a colleague to give his opinion of Dracula -- he was told it was "dreadful".

The book became his legacy.

He went on to write seven more novels before he passed away at 64.

Late bloomer #2:
Laura Ingalls Wilder

As a child, Wilder lived in a little house on the prairie.

She raised a family, worked as a seamstress and a waitress. She and her family endured many hardships.

Her tales of a family struggling to survive frontier life were worthy of telling, and she started with a column in the Missouri Ruralist.

When she published her first book, Little House In The Big Woods, she was 64.

The eight-book series has since been translated into forty languages.
