I am feeling so inspired reading this and your other posts!! I just found you on my timeline, likely because we write about similar themes (I am also living in SF, just finished business school, plotting a way toward a life as a writer). Loved the metaphor of a career journey as a playground in one of your recent pieces, and glad to see how joyful the playing looks where you are now in this publishing chapter. 🤩
