Writing After Fifty: How to Find-Enjoy-And Make Money from a New Career As a Writer After You Retire
Bernie avatar reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


This sensible volume urges a mellow, reflective attitude for senior citizens thinking of becoming writers. Oldsters who've postponed, neglected, or only dreamed of writing for publication are prodded to get busy, using their ample time to mine stored experiences and insights. Reading, taking a course, or otherwise brushing up on writing techniques is suggested. Nostalgia pieces; travel writing; book, theater, or movie reviewing; ghosting; and collaboration with notable persons, along with fiction, poetry, books, articles and other forms, are examined.
