How do you feel about getting older? Whether it's a pet peeve or, equally, something you like, let us know (in no more than two sentences) and you could appear in a brand new novel.
Pan Macmillan publishers want to get a snapshot of real women’s feelings about ageing. A selection of these will be included in the new book The Time of our Lives by Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller Maeve Haran.
You might remember Maeve as the author of 90’s smash hit Having It All, a novel that sparked huge debate about whether women could work and have a family, and much more besides. As well as being a brilliant read, her new book is about four friends in their early sixties, and the new issues they face, twenty years older than the protagonists of Having it All.

More positives than negatives here. No more working and the relization that actually no-one really cares what I wear or say 
To sit back and watch your kids experience life, to offer your wisdom and to be smug thinking 'I survived all this'! 
To quote someone 'It's not the things you do that make you old, it's the things you don't do!'
I still dream the dreams of a sixteen year old and think the thoughts of a twenty nine year old, so why is it when I look in the mirror I see a fifty two year old staring back at me? Who is she and what on earth has she been through to look like that? 
52 year old gilly, I should be so lucky! 
Well, if you were born in 1966 KevF you're certainly younger than most of us!
