So Want To Be An Indie Publisher and Your Over Fifty?

If you want to do something, my philosophy is just do it! I am over fifty...heading for sixty and I can tell you, I am getting there, however it isn't going easily! That is the downside.

Those younger don't realize that this generation we belong to has watched the changes that have happened in technology so fast and we have had to keep up! We were NOT born into the world of computers or cell-phones! Hell, some of us weren't even born in the time of TV so what comes so naturally to them, we have to work and work and work at even if we are intelligent and have adapted to the new ways of the world.

I for one, am cutting myself some slack if I make a mistake now and then or I am thick and don't understand the business of ISBNs or linking things or HTML or word-press!

To be a good writer, which is what is really important, you need to have something to draw on as many good writers will tell you. I know I for one, have that full to brimming cup of experience that can over flow some times it is so full.

The Technology may be slow in coming however don't give up! I'm not. I got my first three books out there. They are not perfect, however, all things considered, they could be a hell of a lot worse.

We older generations know what grammar is. We know what punctuation is. We may not be able to read a text from our grandchildren or children because we don't live on our phones and know the latest abbreviations, however we can still understand enough and we can still make a complete sentence! Some of us can even still spell (I not being one of them sadly! Been spoiled by spell-check!).

Now we may have to watch a You Tube video more than once to get it, but we do get it eventually! We still make the changes and learn the things we need to learn and we still get there. It may not be as fast, but in the end, we have lived long enough to know the plodders get there eventually and by doing so, last longer because what we know, sticks and becomes the new normal.

I now have to go figure out more things however we learn from our mistakes, so you can be sure, we are going to keep right on learning if we don't give up! I am not giving up and neither should you!!!
