We all must believe that we are in some desperate times, and it can be very disconcerting. These events can affect all of us in many different ways.
There is a slight possibility for us to recover, at least somewhat, by WRITING! This can allow us to escape briefly from everything that is troubling us.
At the very same time, this will move us forward in our writing goals! It is truly a “win-win” proposition! Think about that for a moment.
We can use our writing as temporary respite and a “safe space” from all the turmoil in the world right now.
When I am troubled, I definitely write, and very soon, the time for my writing will be in full swing! I tend to do my best writing in the Fall and Winter Months!
We Must Do What We Need to Do, Especially In These Troubled Times!
Hopefully, these troubled times will not last forever, so now is the time to take advantage and WRITE! When things seem to be going smoothly, that is when we become lax in our efforts to further our writing goals.
This means that right now is an excellent opportunity to write! We have to seize our opportunities when they arise!
If everyone only wrote when thing were good in this world, then very likely, there would not be much writing going on. That is why I still stress that, when world events are not that great, then this is when the time to write is paramount!
My Writing Began In Earnest at The Worst Time Of My Life!
In December of 2015, I had to have over half of my right foot amputated. As you can imagine, that slowed me down in my physical work for at least 6 months or more.
I could have just died, and given up, but, instead, I doubled down, and perhaps tripled down on my writing, and that is what saved me, and propelled me forward. I know that all of us have had these moments!
We must always seize the opportunities that we are given, and make the most of them! Life is not always fair, but when it isn’t, then we have to seize the moment when we can!\
We just have to deal with what life gives us! We must do this for each new day! There is no other way to do it!
For me, it started with writing on legal pads.
After that, they ascended to computer generated manuscripts.
Then, finally, I published them in Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing. This after the tedious venture into the Copyrighting process with the US Federal government!
The end result is below:
What more could anyone could ask for? It was definitely a tedious journey! Make no mistake about that!
The end result was well worth waiting for though!
That’s the adventure for today! See you next time, and until then, KEEP WRITING!

Dear Sir
I agree, writing can be a real lifesaver. When things look bad all around, there can be nothing better than being able to unburden yourself to a blank piece of paper.
A blank piece of paper is non judgmental and never speaks back. It is the perfect opportunity to put down your feelings without criticism.
And you never know. What you have written probably resonates with someone. And if that person likes what you write, you have a potential friend and customer.
Writing is also a great way to keep in contact through these disturbing times. The written word has brought us together before in times of trouble. (The Bible). And while I never compare any of my writing to the Bible, it may (along with others) bring us together enough to stop the madness happening in the world today.

You are so right in your assessments, Stephen! You get it, my friend! I hope you are writing, because you know what the power of writing can do! Sorry for the late reply, but you are spot on!

You are so very right about writing being an inspiration, my friend!
