As a freelancer, I feel like any publication I write for should give me a lifetime digital subscription so that I can always access my work. I have written for places where I literally cannot read my own articles due to paywalls.

Your monthly reminder:

Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.
