Thank you, I enjoyed reading your insights. I'm still shackled to a full time job for a whole lot of reasons so writing has to be something I do on the side. It can be hard to find the time and mental energy but it's a great outlet when I do. I'm also fortunate not to be under pressure to make money from my writing - it's basically a hobby that earns me a bit of money on the side.
A myth I've grappled with and probably internalised is that I have nothing new to add to the ever growing body of work out there. But the more I write, the more I find my unique perspective on a whole lot of issues including the well-traversed.
