I would like to be a writer but I'm wondering how that will go in midlife. So I'm wondering what @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com's advice would be? Is 48 too late to even think about starting?

Dead is the only age that's too late to start being an author.

On a related note, I was hoping I could get your insight on something. I haven't finished/published any books. I have, however, self-published several D&D adventure modules. One even won silver in the ENNIE Awards (I also wrote comic reviews until recently). Is that enough to call myself a writer?

Right now I feel like I still need to put an asterisk at the end of "award-winning," since it came in second, but we'll see if the adventure I'm working on now makes it into next year's ENNIES.

Still an award. If you won't back yourself, who will? ;)
