Funny thing happened after I finished my MFA. I suddenly didn’t have anything to do. For the last three years, I always had something to do. I would eat dinner, sit on the couch, and do schoolwork until I went to bed. I did schoolwork on the weekends, and when I could steal time at work. It consumed pretty much all my spare time for years, now it’s gone, and I’m gazing into the void.
Hi Jared. New to substack. A friend forwarded two of your posts to me. About to complete my MFA at the Bluegrass Writers Studio (Eastern Kentucky University's low-res MFA) at the age of 60. Yay for us. My purpose won't change. Keep writing. Get better at it. Send out my stuff. No matter what.
Your writing recently has been much more life focused and that drives into money philosophy. As someone who has struggled with mental health and finding a purpose, I find your recent articles just a nice big fat cherry on top of your already really good financial advice!
This is my favourite email you’ve ever written. Thanks Jared!
Agree
Thanks for sharing Jared,
Jim Handshaw

Terrific email Jared. Well written. Good one.

Great one Jared.
"There is no dishonor in that." So true.
Also loved: "I am allergic to bullshit."
Keep doing what you do!
