Hello all! Jo Weldon here. I’ll be posting school of burlesque updates as well as links to my essays on swork, fashion, and culture here. At least, I think that’s what I’ll be doing.

I was, uh, 58 when my debut novel was published. It's a bestseller. Because the Youngs love it. You never fucking know.
Writersky is talking about writers and ages again, so it bears repeating: there is no expiration date on writers except for death. Up until your last day, you can be writing, you can be published, you can be produced, you can sell. There's no "Too late." Only you can decide when your done.
