Is it ever too late? Can a mature (not old) person dare to dream of becoming a successful author?

you wont know until you try. I'm mature, well in years anyway, and beginning the process of looking for an agent. The problem is, it takes so long to find an agent, then for the agent to find a publisher, then for the publisher to get the book on the shelves. Maybe self publishing is the answer.
