I always wanted to become an author after reading my first non academic book in 2007. Not just to make a living out of it, but as a means to express my feelings & emotions to the world.
Videos & Animations might steal the show, score over the written universe in the short term. But I still believe authentic & original written content will be preserved for the next 2000 years. When I started writing in 2008 via a weekly newsletter/blog the biggest challenge I faced was to insert related images that went along with the story. These days we get lot of stock pictures for the same - that does not mean the writing has become super easy. In fact people have lesser attention span these days than 15 years ago.
These days the financial markets interest me and my writing is specifically into this niche. Mostly with banking, options trading & macro economics. A doctorate in economics is something I am looking to achieve in this decade.
