Did you know, Mary Ann Evans was one of the leading writers in the Victorian era and wrote under the pen name George Eliot? One of my favorite quotes by her: "It is never too late to be what you might have been."
I learned something new and that quote is great. We need to aspire to this. Hope you are well and I am thinking of your brother right now during this pandemic. Always in my prayers
I did know that, but hadn't seen the quotation before. I read one of her novels in The History of the British Novel, one of my favorite classes. I think the title was Adam Bede.

Wow, but do I ever agree with that quote. Had my first novel traditionally published when I was 63, a dream come true.

Yes, I did, but I enjoyed all the books in that class. I admit that I would not read Adam Bede a second time.
