A to Z: Going Indie: Y is for YOLO!


 Welcome to Blogging A to Z! My theme this year is Going Indie. I hope you enjoy it. Don't forget to check out the other participating blogs


 If you read my post yesterday, you already know that I just turned 55. This isn't me complaining. It's a privilege to have made it this far and I'm hopeful of having many more years yet to enjoy. But, it also means that I've crossed a sort of meridian in my life and there's for sure fewer years left than I have already lived. 

So, it's time to DO IT. Whatever it is that you've been wanting to do and haven't done. For me: that's making a go of self-publishing, taking my writing life firmly into my hands and making all the decisions, accepting all the blame and any glory that might come from it. To BE A WRITER. 

Lucy had the right of it:

  1. You and Lucy absolutely have it right. 🙂

    And I couldn't agree more with this: "making a go of self-publishing, taking my writing life firmly into my hands and making all the decisions, accepting all the blame and any glory that might come from it."

  4. Lucille Ball was a smart woman in so many ways. Yes, take her advice. Speaking from the decade beginning with a 7, I say, one day it will be too late. Do it now. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
