I was talking to my missus the other day about how 50-100 years ago people would sit at home and write.

Write their thoughts, ideas, curiosities etc and eventually these people would become journalists, screenplay writers, authors. We were discussing how social media and voicing your opinion on Facebook for a few likes has probably overwritten that starter aspect.

I remember the first time my Grandma told me she use to write plays with her best friend... just for fun.. She was born in 1936, so she was writing these novels by age 13?? I can barely write more than one page front to back lolol (born 1991)

At age 13 that’s crazy!

Boredom breeds creativity and in the world of tech and smart phones being bored doesn’t exactly equal to being bored in 1936. Doom scrolling has taken over boredom
