cj Sez: When I posted on Facebook that I wasn’t having a lot of
trouble with social distancing or quarantine requirements because I’m a writer,
son replied…
Sounds like a motto to me.

This Bookbaby article on "Tons of material and nothing to write" is so true for me (I spend a lot of time “growing" into the story,)
that I thought there might other authors out there who could be reassured they
are on the right path.

Correction: I just found out that the untitled "and the people stayed home" poem used in my post of April 5 was misattributed. It properly belongs to Kitty
O’Meara who wrote it in 2020. I had, unfortunately, not thoroughly re-vetted
the source. The poem is still perfect, I think.

That’s it for this
week’s post. You-all guys keep on keeping on and I’ll try to do the same.
