When my children were young I wrote books for young readers.
My children grew up and had children. After my grandchildren grew up, my writing interests changed.
I now write for and about older women, as ithe real people we are, not as the stereotypical old lady.
I don't feel much different, but mirrors grow increasingly unkind--so I avoid them whenever possible.
But Ageism blossoms with every new wrinkle until I don't know which is worse, being talked down to or being invisible.
What I do know is that with age comes an unexpected bonus.
A new and welcome sense of freedom!
