Embracing New Adventures at Nearly Seventy Years Young
Written on
Chapter 1: The Thrill of New Beginnings
How much excitement can one person experience? In my case, as a woman approaching seventy, the possibilities are endless. I can hardly believe I'm admitting that, yet it's a reality I embrace.
What does my age have to do with my writing journey? Everything. I possess a wealth of experiences to share, and discovering this extraordinary platform nearly a year ago has been a dream realized.
Why the metaphor of jumping off a cliff, and what made my first leap so unforgettable? A few weeks ago, I mustered the courage to share a deeply personal story that I had kept hidden for years. I overcame my fears and doubts about how readers might react, and I published it anyway. The outcome?

My True Story of Reincarnation: Inherited Memories?
The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Readers not only accepted my narrative but also found their own connections to it. By taking that leap into the unknown, I uncovered both joy and an immense sense of accomplishment by daring to be vulnerable.

(And I've certainly embraced my share of adventures!)
As if my writing journey wasn't already exhilarating, I recently found inspiration from an article on ghostwriting. That sounds like an exciting challenge! My two self-published memoirs have garnered praise, and since writing is my passion, I could definitely explore this avenue.
What if my memoirs are my sole writing experience? I could offer potential clients a free sample of my work and charge a reasonable fee. If they don’t appreciate my writing, we can simply go our separate ways. However, I have a gut feeling my clients will enjoy what I produce. My main concern will be managing my time effectively.
I’m unsure of my rates, but starting modestly seems wise. I owe a great deal of gratitude to this platform for motivating me to evolve as a writer and igniting my enthusiasm. I never expected to earn a living doing what I love—writing.
Throughout my life, I’ve held jobs that brought me little joy, all the while suppressing this inner desire. Perhaps it’s not too late to embark on a new career as a ghostwriter. After all, what do I have to lose?
I've heard that Upwork might be a great place to kick off this venture, but I’m open to any suggestions you might have. I truly wouldn’t have gained this confidence in my abilities without the encouragement I’ve received since joining this community.
This platform has revitalized my spirit and opened doors to endless possibilities. Engaging with everyone here has become an integral part of my daily life.

I welcome all comments, thoughts, and suggestions! If you have experience as a ghostwriter, I would greatly appreciate any tips you can share. This platform is much more than just a writing space; it serves as a launchpad for honing our craft and learning from one another.
The web of ideas and opportunities is vast and inviting!
Oh, and did I mention? I’m having a blast!
