It may seem bleak. It may seem like no one out there is listening. That no one cares.
But, we are the writers.
We are the story tellers.
The ones to entertain the masses.
To be hopeful when hope is hard to find.
We must maintain. We must find our own path through the craziness and stay strong.
It won't be easy. So many distractions. So much unease and worry. It might seem impossible to focus and get words on paper.
Keep trying. Keep jotting down your ideas and your visions and your dreams.
Keep moving forward.
Because...people need us. People need stories to escape. To feel good. To find joy.
They need our stories, because there are no stories out there quite like ours.
Together, we have hope.
Stay safe, stay sane, and stay sassy.
Heather

ReplyDeleteHi Heather - exactly ... we need to be sensible, help each other and keep positive. Lots of time to read and to write - sounds good to me ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said. Felt like poetry.
ReplyDeleteI have many friends and relatives I worry about though not too much worry about myself. It is a 'no excuses' time to write.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Heather. We all need encouragement AND can encourage others -- with phone calls, e-mails, and our stories.
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful to read your article, Heather. I hope you don't mind if I share your encouraging words with my facebook followers.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great post! Gone with the Wind was a hit during the depression. When times are hard, we do need our escapes.
ReplyDeleteWise words are just what banishes fear and insecurity at this time.
ReplyDeleteThank you Heather for such an uplifting message of hope. Let’s unite swords ... sorry pens, mightier, and protect the world and its people.
