“You never know beforehand what people are capable of, you have to give it time, it’s time that rules”(Writer José Saramago). You might think that as a writer, I’ve spent the past eleven months documenting the experience of living through the pandemic. I haven’t. You might assume that my written words lament the year’s losses. Or, conversely, extol the benefits of isolation. They don’t. I write the kinds of stories I’ve always created. Some day, with the hindsight of time, I may write about the pandemic in fiction or memoir. But at present, my writing traverses independent paths. For more thoughts about writing, see REFLECTIONS.
