What Does the Pandemic Mean for Writers?

I’ve never wondered what it’s like to be in a gestational state, but thanks to 2020, I found out anyway. Think about it. A year ago, as of this writing, Americans were put on lockdown. We were literally stuck inside for the better part of a year. Everything was confusing. Things got dark (mostly our jokes, but still).We heard lots of voices from the outside, but more often than not, none of it made any sense.

2020 has sucked, can we just say it? What a horrible, rotten year with loss and grief at every turn, a mean-spirited and endless election, a year of nothingness - no concerts, no openings, no parties, no family dinners, no leisurely strolls through the grocery store to mindlessly select the week’s menu without concern for the availability of food or the need to wear an uncomfortable mask and eye everyone else suspiciously for signs of illness. But wait…there’s optimism ahead?
