We all know what's going on in the world at the moment, and it's turned all our lives upside down.
But writers are a resilient bunch, and they've been coming up with ideas to help us all get through the coming months.

You might feel too distracted to write for the moment, but there's plenty you can do meanwhile.
If you're on social media platforms, look out for book promotions; many writers have reduced their ebooks down to 99p or doing a free promotion. Would be good if you return the favour with a review when you've finished.
Indie authors need our support as their print on demand copies are being delayed or listed as not available (on Amazon), which equals no money coming in from them. Meanwhile, their ebooks can generate income and/or reviews.

| Reading time... |
If you enjoy reading short stories, then join a new Facebook group,
Uplifting stories for crazy times. Follow the link on the
Womagwriter blog.
Do you have saved links on your browser or elsewhere on your computer? Now may be the best time to organise them while distractions are reduced.
Do you have a record of all your books- whatever the format- and what platform they're on? If it's not up to date, now may be the time to organise them. Then you'll be ready to make changes, update or plan promotions when normality returns.
How about catching up on those blogs and podcasts you keep telling yourself you must read or listen to...
Have a browse on YouTube and discover all those fabulous writers, experts and aficionados who share their knowledge on their own channels.
I'll be using catch-up services for a couple of TV programmes that I've missed.
If you can go outside, there's always the gardening...
I won't be posting again for a few weeks, but will check in, and read comments and other blog posts, even if I'm away from my desk in another room.

#Stay safe. #Stay indoors. And keep up with the #handwashing for 20 seconds...
