Zach – I’m with Elena. Why choose? If theatre draws you, why not explore that? And if a novel calls you, why not do that as well? And you are absolutely not too old to try either, or anything else at the matter. You may have noticed that Medium of full of first time writers twice your age, so it’s never too late. I suspect I’m considerably older than you, but I’m also exploring the options of writing plays, composing music, writing songs, as well as poetry, fiction and possibly a novel. So shine your light, and don’t hold back, thinking you’re too old to try. It won’t necessarily be easy, but that’s no reason not to follow a dream.
