Hi friends— Life has changed quite a bit since we last spoke, hasn't it? On a personal level, my book came out (yay), but my US tour and all other book events were cancelled (boo). And then, of course, on the much more important macro level, the world is fighting covid-19. It's a scary, unprecedented time, and there's no right way to deal with it. I've been lucky to only have a few friends come down with the virus, and they've all recovered or are improving. I'm so grateful to all the healthcare workers, delivery people, grocery store staff, and so on for putting their lives on the line to keep the rest of us fed and healthy. The sacrifices some of us are making pales in comparison to those who have lost loved ones or are battling the virus on the front lines. Still, being stuck at home for 55 days (and many more to come for some of us) is difficult to get used to, even for an introvert like me. The way I muddle through is by keeping busy. Sometimes that means being productive work-wise—I'm making good headway on my second novel! Sometimes it means undertaking bigger personal projects I wouldn't have prioritized if I were on tour or constantly out and about.
