I don't try to meet any arbitrary deadlines about when I should be married, or when I should have kids, or when I should have made x amount of money. I used to think that if I hadn't written a novel by the time I was 30, I was done for. But now, I just go with the flow and see where life takes me.
I understand where you are coming from, especially where your comment about writing a novel is concerned!
It has always been my ambition to illustrate a copy of Edgar Allan Poe's works, or maybe a copy of "The Illiad" or "The Odyssey".

I still haven't done it, but I am working my way towards it, and hopefully one day it will happen
