Remember, Tolkien didn't start working on "The Hobbit" until he was 41 years old. It started as tales for his children that took over 4 years to complete, and he finally published it at the age of 45.
It is never too late to start working on something that truly calls to you.
Embrace your passion.

A tweet from Chris Murphy reads: "An unaccountable billionaire is seizing control of the government. Now he has access to your tax information. Maybe because he wants to decide who gets refunds and who doesn't. Before it's too late, this is the moment for Americans stand up and say: we want our government back." Below the tweet, there is an image of a CNN breaking news segment with the headline: "MUSK TEAM GAINS ACCESS TO SYSTEM THAT WRITES AMERICA'S CHECKS".
Now indeed is the time.
