Tink will be returning in baby steps.
...at least so far in my life. I prefer to write when I have something to say, and not “on command” or because I need to do so in order to pay my bills.
A couple of times, almost by accident, I’ve wound up with writing assignments, and it’s nice to have those pieces in my portfolio. But I’m just as proud of the writing I’ve done for free (e.g., articles for professional newsletters and marketing materials for nonprofits I want to support).
