The world is crazy. We all know this and it’s all I see on
my news feed. But, I’m not here to talk about what’s happening. Well, not
exactly.
My only message today is to keep going.
I’ve been struggling to see the point lately. Being stuck in
my house, cut off from work (work is usually my biggest motivator to write),
and terrified about what the future might hold is not conducive to a creative
atmosphere. Yesterday was really bad, where I slammed my laptop shut after
struggling all day to crank out a single chapter and asked myself why all of it
mattered.
Here’s what I figured out: It matters because it’s what we
need. Right now, everyone is in the same boat. We’re all stuck in the house
with little to do. The way I see it, people need the escape that comes with a
good book. And, as writer’s with too much time on their hands, it’s up to us to
provide that.
This week’s message was short but it is simple: Keep
perspective, keep clean, and please keep writing! Your story might be the thing
that gives someone a bit of relief in these trying times.
