I mean the beauty of being a writer is it's not like being a swimmer. When they were talking about our Olympic swimmers and they'd say, 'Oh she's so old,' and she's all of 25 or something. So the beauty for a writer is that you can keep doing it right into your dotage, and I hope to be able to keep doing it as long as I can get away with it, yeah.
Geraldine Brooks, an American author, shares her perspective on the beauty of being a writer. She notes that unlike athletes, writers can continue to create and produce work well into old age, making it a unique and fulfilling profession.
Brooks' quote highlights the longevity and versatility of writing as a career. It emphasizes the ability to continue creating and producing work without the physical limitations that often accompany aging in other fields.
Geraldine Brooks is an American author, journalist, and Pulitzer Prize winner. She has written several novels and non-fiction books, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel 'March'.
