Even as writers, I do believe it’s a better time to be one now than ten years ago.
When I see all the people who started their careers 10 years ago doing content marketing and listicle writing for (now defunct) tech companies… all the nostalgia and longing for an old world evaporates from my body.
Yes! I love this. Death means REBIRTH. And the old world needs to die let's face it.
It needed to die.
