The Best Time to Start Writing on Medium Is During a Pandemic
Or writing more if you’ve already built a writing habit.
While locked up at home, there is a lot we can do with our time. For writers and those who aspire to write, there has never been a better time.
Your commute is gone. Your workload might have decreased. Or you might finally have an excuse with your family to hideaway in a room of your home and work (and that work can be writing).
Over the last few days, I have used my time in isolation to write more. The one question that has guided me is this:
“How can writing make this situation better?”
The time is now to write, and here are some strategies to keep in mind.
Write to inspire
People could really do with some inspiration right now. The media is beating people’s brains to a pulp with fear, panic, and endless commentary. Everybody is an expert, sort of.
Pandemic writing can inspire us and it can be an escape when the world feels like a prison sentence served at home, thanks to a virus. You don’t have to be Martin Luther King with words either. Share your stories, point of view and advice, and add just a touch of positivity.
