Re: How old are you?

I'm 46.
I've been writing as long as I remember; I wrote stories as a child on my Mom's old Royal typewriter, and then read them aloud to anyone who would listen. I filled my school notebooks with doodles and story outlines and stuff like character names and their family trees. I even was known to make up languages that my characters would speak in my future novels. One day in sixth grade I was working hard on a list of twenty verbs when my teacher stopped her lecture and said: "Evelyn, what are you mumbling about? Will you share it with the whole class, please?" Huh. Not fun.
Currently, I'm polishing and re-polishing my science fiction novel. I've been working on the book for three years. It's SO CLOSE to ready, I can feel myself chomping at the bit. I'm going to start sending out my queries in a week or two. I'm so excited.
