I hope you all will stay safe, wash your hands, and stay well informed.<\/p>\n<p>People are telling me they feel stressed, confused, and aren\u2019t sure what to do. Some writer friends tell me they\u2019re having a hard time focusing on their writing, with so much negative news out there.<\/p>\n<p>However you may be feeling I want to honor and respect that. Our feelings are amazing barometers and help us navigate the world.<\/p>\n<p>In stressful changing times like these, I find it useful to reach out to the people I love, whether they\u2019re in my house, the next town over, or halfway around the world, and tell them I love and cherish them.<\/p>\n<h2>Creativity is All<\/h2>\n<p>I also find great solace in focusing on my creative work. I put my emotions and desires and hopes and fears into my revisions of my <a href=\"https:\/\/author.bethbarany.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">upcoming novel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I am not a politician, a health expert, a doctor, or policy maker. What I am is a creative artist, and therefore my way of impacting the world is through my (he)art.<\/p>\n<p>As a <a href=\"https:\/\/school.bethbarany.com\/p\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">teacher, Creativity Coach, and leader in my small corner of the world<\/a>, I feel it\u2019s important to take a stand for being a whole human being.<\/p>\n<p>That means feeling the feelings, staying informed, taking care of yourself, and do the work of your heart.<\/p>\n<p>No one knows how much time they have here on our precious planet earth &#8212; our spaceship Earth &#8211;, so do what\u2019s important. Say I love you to the people that matter to you.<\/p>\n<p>Be kind to strangers and have empathy for their struggles, as we ultimately don\u2019t know what goes on in another\u2019s heart. But our job is to connect to our own heart and be open to the hearts of others.<\/p>\n<p>We are all in this together &#8212; one human family &#8212; so let us tread softly upon the earth. And bow in remembrance of our ancestors who survived the great plagues of the past.<\/p>\n<p>In my work as a science fiction author, I find myself looking far into the past to understand the future possibilities.<\/p>\n<h2>Creativity, Ingenuity, Art<\/h2>\n<p>Our humans ancestor have been making art for over 100,000 years and surviving very difficult situations. I trust that with our human ingenuity, our art, and our ability to form and maintain a communities, we will survive this current crisis.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d love to hear how you\u2019re doing, whether it\u2019s about your writing, your way of taking care of yourself, or anything else that is top of mind for you.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<h2>Do you yearn to write a novel, but don&#8217;t know where to begin?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/school.bethbarany.com\/p\/60daynovel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"https:\/\/school.bethbarany.com\/p\/60daynovel noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-22805 size-medium\" title=\"60-day-novel course starts April 1, 2020 with Beth and Ezra Barany\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/60-day-novel-sales-page_02-300x300.png\" alt=\"60-day-novel course starts April 1, 2020 with Beth and Ezra Barany\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/60-day-novel-sales-page_02-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/60-day-novel-sales-page_02-160x160.png 160w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/60-day-novel-sales-page_02-320x320.png 320w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/60-day-novel-sales-page_02.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Then check out our flagship course starting April 1st.<\/p>\n<p>We will help you plan and write a first draft of your novel in 60 days.<\/p>\n<p>Yep, it can be done.<\/p>\n<p>How do we know?
