Beginning in March, my life became a long string of upheaval, including a global pandemic, a personal spiritual crisis, and a family death. I couldn’t write—nor did I want to, which deeply troubled me. […]

Thank you for writing this, Rose. It’s an article I really wish I’d had months ago as it really would have helped me. When my dad was dying of cancer, I wrote like a madwoman because it was all I could do to stay sane during those crazy times. As soon as he died though, I gave up and I’ve been stuck in an eighteen month period of depressing writers block. I think coming to terms with things though and meaningfully taking a break have helped a lot and I’ve got an exciting new project (not going to try working on any of my long-term ones for now) and I hope to begin writing next month for July Camp NaNo.
Thanks for writing this! It really blessed me. 🙂-

Thank you Rose. This is something that I really related to (especially Approach #1 and 4), and it was both a blessing and encouragement to me.
I hope God blesses your week! 🙂

Well done. I’m excited about the checklist.
Thanks Lori. Be sure and let me know what you think about the checklist!
The timing of this article is impeccable. I’m currently reading The Universe Next Door, by James W. Sire, a brief catalog of the most prominent worldviews. It’s proving to be a valuable resource for understanding the real world, which will in turn, as you’ve said, help me craft deeper characters.
Thank you for the questionnaire, I’ll definitely be putting it to use! 🙂
