love this. rampant ageism really causes us, as a society, to undervalue the elderly. it’s always good to have a reminder that there’s still valuable life to be lived after 65.
I’m not quite in the 75 age range but my hair is gray and I would have loved that conference. I so loved the description you wrote of these writers who are *not* talking about growing platforms. Here’s to passion and craft!
Such a beautiful and freeing perspective 🥹 much needed for me as I can get so stuck on perfectionism and platforms that I let imposter syndrome and fear of rejection keep me from writing at all. Thanks for sharing, and glad you went! 🤍
This was beautiful, the ways the things that really matter to us change over time. What are the things we will still be willing to do when no one/very few are watching. This week I’m paying attention to what I do for applause and what I do for sheer delight.

So true. It seemed like "it's never too late" was one of the common themes. And I loved that. ❤️
Beautiful and hopeful - and a reminder that vibrant life is always within reach.
Yes, I love how you said that! Thanks for reading ❤️

I struggle with perfectionism *so* much. You’re not alone in that! ❤️
Just love this so much.
This was so uplifting, I can’t stop smiling at the end ❤️

Yes, it’s such a refreshing reframe!
Oh man, this makes me so excited to be an old lady writer! 😃💛

Beautiful!
Oh! I love this!
Perfect 💛
Can we still be in a mastermind when we're 75? That's all I want 😉
You’re stuck with me until at least then 😉
I'm in a writing group that is mostly older writers! Tons of published fiction authors--and yeah, no talk of platform!
Every conversation I have with every woman is strictly about the craft, the devotion, the passion for writing.
This is what I want. Back to basics.
This makes me feel so peaceful. I can never have too many reminders that doing something for the joy of it is enough.
I love this. Lord let us be a bunch of Golden Girls (maybe with a little more filter) just writing because we love it.
Okay, yep. Cindy is my new writing life goal.
