Thank you for an inspiring read, Jane Trombley. Months ago, I started writing a pandemic romance. Romance is a genre I like to write in, especially if I can do something different with a story. But this presented a puzzle for me to solve. It took awhile but I finally figured out two people would start a romance in this setting. But I fizzled out. I lost my writing steam - eventually even for my journal.

Lately I stopped most news reading, read a portable Thich Nhat Hanh book morning and evening, and getting back to Me. Your article nudged quite a bit further! Thank you!
