“The man who comes to writing late, but is in essence a writer, may sometimes gain as much as he has lost: his experience of life has given him a subject, he is spared the youthful writer's self-torment and soul-searching.”

You should look into getting yourself designated an official author here; you'll get a special profile page, and your books here will have "Goodreads Author" listed on their own pages. I don't know how you do that, though.
