Give it a new face.
Writing as a Retirement Career Change
Ok. I’m retired. Now what do I do? Sit around watching my morning coffee get cold or take long strolls to break the monotony of daily inactivity? I’m accustomed to putting in a forty-hour work week. Counting the minutes until my exit is less than appealing. What I need is a career change.
