Idea: 40+ Or 40-55 amateur essay contest 🤔. That seems to be the most silent age range if you exclude professional writers.
I’m just a teeny bit tired of youthful thinking. Feels like watching exhausting reruns of my own shit.

I don’t know. There’s not much out there if you exclude the pros who’ve been writing since their 20s/30s. For the purposes of this I’d consider myself a pro.

Feel like the stereotype is youthful idealism vs. grizzled realism. Figured you'd have more examples though. Like, systems/patterns of the world that maybe emerge and seem eye opening when you're in your 20s (politics at work?) vs. whatever isn't obvious til much later

That is my intention. Better get rich enough to ride it out in comfort.
