Take care, my friend.
I am ashamed to say this, but the first 20 years of my adult life was spend working in the media, both newspapers and radio. You have a fine working voice and present a compelling argument without rancor and hyperbole. If I was your editor, I’d advise you to keep writing.
Be well and God bless.
I find I can earn more money in IT than in writing at the moment. In fact, I wrote this during after getting up at 7 AM on Sunday to have a guy in India restart my apps, only to face a two-hour delay while other apps were started.
It is not perfect; the sentence structure is too complex, and parts should be rewritten for clarity. It would pass in The Rambler, but not in today’s world.
Maybe I will write more when I retire. Right now I am fully booked with work and hobbies.
