I have always wanted to write for a living and to have enough money to get by. That’s looked different as the world and my life have gone on. Newspapers, advertising, online magazines, novels, SEO, Medium, Substack. I do a lot of little things and nothing has paid off big (other than one crazy viral article that still feeds me) but I persist.
Thank you so much for this. I have loved your newsletter (ever since the first time Virginia Sole-Smith interviewed you, I think) and loved YDNAB. I recently had to pause all my paid substack subscriptions (small comfort but I wanted to let you know it’s not because I don’t think this Substack is worth the money!) because my freelance work has dried up the past two years and I am currently looking to make the jump back to employment.
Just knowing I am not alone, that I am not the only one who is tired of being the boss, but also tired of the dehumanizing process of job searching, means a lot to me. Thank you again.

I do not need to be rich. I do need to write.
Yes!
