Writer's Block: Starting a Career in Writing in 2020

 https://www.kapwing.com/resources/writers-block-starting-a-career-in-writing-in-2020/

"2020 is off to a tumultuous start for everybody, and those hoping to start a career during the COVID-19 lockdown period couldn't have arrived at such a life-altering period at a worse time. The entire workforce, the entire job market, is shrouded in uncertainty – for those hoping to enter it for the first time, it might seem entirely inaccessible. If you’re looking to begin a career in writing, you’d probably be feeling more than enough uncertainty starting a career under “normal” circumstances. But under the conditions 2020 has introduced, it’s hard to see any path forward – opportunities are few, scattered, and indistinct. I began my career last year, after graduating in English from Pomona College. Nearly everyone I know who entered the writing world with me approached their next step with different goals in mind, different priorities, different tradeoffs. Here’s the advice we can give for 2020."
