When the Keep calm and enjoy your 30th birthday quotes shirt in addition I really love this pandemic hit. I was a 32-year-old newlywed completing an MFA in non-fiction writing. I was freelancing here and there and working part-time; my husband was working as a documentary filmmaker. My plan had been to finish my graduate program and then re-enter the workforce: I’d try to sell the book I’d been writing, I’d apply for a staff writer positions, and freelance in the interim. I imagined I’d work full-time as a writer for a few years, get my career going, and then have a baby. But the pandemic threw that plan, along with any hope of stability, into disarray. A career as a writer is never a sure-thing, but as I finished my graduate program via Zoom and witnessed tens of thousands of people in my chosen industry lose their jobs, even the perception of control vanished. In hindsight this was true before the pandemic, but the pandemic showed me, nearly instantly, that the path I had anticipated was not going to materialize. Not now, and potentially not ever.
