Mary Wesley Published her First Book at Age 70

Here we go again! The deal is to make it in life, become successful as well as to make great impact in the world. But sometimes we get all choked in trying so hard to be heard that we fail to relax, think, and find the right strength within us, the big idea, the unique stuff that would somersault us to our desired end. Here is Mary Wesley, a voice in her generation that made it in life late, but, made it well. Now, let's check if we've got one or two things to learn from her.

Guess what? Mary Wesley was a late bloomer. She did publish her first book at age 70. She wrote three children's books, Speaking Terms and The Sixth Seal (both 1969) and Haphazard House (1983), before publishing adult fiction. Since her first adult novel was published only in 1983, when she was 71, you might want to ask; what good can such late publication generate for her? Now here is the magic, in spite how late she started, her creative writing skill made a great noise for her.

The publication of Jumping the Queue in 1983 was the beginning of a deeply creative period of Wesley's life. From 1982 to 1991, she wrote and delivered seven novels. While she aged from 70 to 79 she still showed the focus and drive of a young person. So quit losing hope and believe you can be a bloomer anytime. Nothing, I mean absolutely nothing should be a barrier to your breakthrough.

During her career, Mary Wesley was one of Britain's most successful novelists. She put a stop to her writing at the age of 84. When asked why she had stopped writing fiction at the age of 84, she replied: "If you haven't got anything to say, don't say it."
