Will Leitch, writing on his Medium blog, talks about advice for your journalists. However, this bit about writing stuck out to me.

When I was in my 20s and 30s, when I told people I was a writer, they usually asked some variation of “how do you make a living at that?” But as I, and they, have hit our 40s, and our lives have played out, they’ve started saying something different. They pause for a second, and their eyes get a little dreamy, and they say some variation of, “Man, I always wanted to do something like that.” I always tell them they still can. And so can you. There is no greater feeling in the world than making something, than taking a blank page, or a fresh canvas, or an empty lot, or an unadorned room, and filling it with something that you made. It’s something you’ll never, ever regret. So go do it. Go make stuff. Make the world a little bit different because you were in it.

I need to figure out my stuff, but I’m getting there.
