I started writing on Medium in 2020 and wrote off and on before that for my job or to get my point across in letters to the editor. Around 2021 or 22, I asked myself if I wanted to continue to write. I looked at job applications and I usually looked for writing jobs. I don't want to work for someone, at least not in an office. I think it depends on what you want out of life. My kids are still young, teenagers, so that gives me time with them. I was in the Army and lost some of that time you'd never get back. So for now, writing it is.
