I honestly have to force myself to extrovert and this week I will go into the office for the first time in over two years. Your posts are so deep, I think you are a closet psychologist, not Libiran. ;)Sherri E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09697417084689782482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-60267337782389327452022-07-15T20:37:10.308-05:002022-07-15T20:37:10.308-05:00Yes, it was quite difficult for some people.

With that, coupled with some anxiety from current events, it can be difficult to focus!

She was practically in tears and kept thanking me for a long email I'd sent her on her birthday. I kept writing and reading.

Everyone learned to live with less contact during the pandemic. Luckily, I live in a development where we could safely distance across our yards and have face-to-face conversations. But like all writers, I really didn't mind my alone time. However, the pandemic did make writing more difficult. I had trouble getting in the "creative zone."
