Age Ain't Nothing But A Number

Proof why you never quit. Very inspirational article about a writer getting his first TV writing gig at age 55.  https://www.businessinsider.com/tv-writer-job-age-not-too-old-never-gave...

Martin, I'm so doggone glad you posted this!

Here's wishing you all the VERY BEST...and I'm glad you're here on Stage 32!

I'd rather hire a creative who's been through hard knocks than some kid who went into a film program right after high school. Nothing beats real life experience when it comes to being a true artist.

Denise Caruso

As an "old person", just starting on a writing journey, I love this! ❤

Martin Reese

One of the things I noted is that he was constantly networking and putting his work out there so he garnered a reputation for his writing and for his perseverance.

We're not old, brother. We're a life shaker full of flavored seasoning waiting to be poured out onto whoever sees our value. So pour it out, brother. Very proud of you and standing with you. Your best and many years are ahead.

Thank you for sharing! What a beautiful story :)

Amanda Toney

This is so damn inspiring Martin Reese, thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing. This is a MUST read for everyone in my network. He had such a kick-ass, cool and fun concept script between LL Cool J and Kool Moe Dee that I'm sure execs were excited to read, that is a fun and unique concept that stands out amongst the thousands of scripts circulating. Very cool share Martin.

Stephanie Munch

That's so cool Martin thank you for sharing this article ! I often thought I was too old to learn screenwriting or even think of a career as a screenwriter so thank you :)

Eon C. Rambally

Such great inspiration! A reminder, the concept for immortality!

Howard Sewell

So cool, thanks for sharing. Persistance is ominpotent! I started after my first career ended, at 57!

Sam Sokolow

How awesome, Martin! I’m so inspired by this story. And I still have all the vinyl from LL and Kool Moe Dee’s back and forth. Such a great story to tap into and POV on that era of hip hop in NYC. Thanks so much for sharing this story!
