I keep seeing posts about why this is a bad/hard time to be a writer and I want to gently respond that, past or present, good writing is never about ease or practicality.
Write because you need to. Write because you have something to say.
Our parallel needs for human expression and connection aren’t going anywhere. Nor is our need for storytellers with life-shaped perspectives.
If you talk about art the way you’d discuss diversifying an investment portfolio, I’d argue it’s time for you to rethink your motivations.
