#84: A Year In
As we start March again, it’s impossible not to think about what was going on in the world this time last year. For many of us, it was the beginning of lockdown and a radical shift in the way we were suddenly living our lives. Working from home, remote learning, and social distancing were totally unfamiliar concepts — but oh, we were about to become well acquainted.
This milestone has been hard on a lot of people, but as writers it often helps to use our work to address what’s stressing us out. So this week, let’s not shy away from the sadness, frustration, or fear this anniversary brings up, but instead use it to fuel our creative efforts — and hopefully find some healing along the way.
