I’m thinking of taking up writing myself as a lifelong lover of literature; I recently turned 26 myself and the common thing I see about most writers on the internet is that they started writing when they first held a pen. While I’m not like that at all, I do have a huge passion for literature. My favourite writers are probably Franz Kafka and Fyodor Dostoyevsky. That said I’d say that Victor Hugo and Leo Tolstoy helped form my socialist views as an adult. I also like Gabriel Garcia Marquez. That said my favourite novel Frankenstein was written when Mary Shelley was only 18 for example.
Anyways I’m wondering if anyone knows of any writers who started in their 20s while working full-time jobs.
