Johnny at Home: Without context, that seems less unsettling than the other way around

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.

Incorrect, your family could release your book posthumously Although, at that point you wouldn't BE an author, you would instead have BEEN an author, but that's just semantics

Note - this was a joke

You joke, but those were the circumstances behind the publication of A Confederacy of Dunces. His mother approached a publisher who avoided reading it for a while because he didn't wanna have to tell this grieving mother that her son was a bad writer, but then he read it...

Yes. But he wrote it before he died.
