Writing in Covid-19 Pandemic

Writing during the Covid-19 pandemic, I think it will be easier to write because we spend more time at home. But apparently not, because we are always at home, a lot of things are missed, a lot of inspiration just disappears. Due to not being able to socialize and gather, we also cannot exchange ideas with other people or ask for opinions from others. But there are some advantages for me too, I am a writer of fiction or novels, I can still find inspiration from reading e-books or watching films or series, I also buy some books online. In addition, I send a draft of my writing before I publish it to my friends so that they give an evaluation of my writing, they also provide opinions, criticisms and suggestions.

A pandemic situation like this will make it difficult for scientific writers, especially those requiring direct practice or visits, requiring a reset from various people. I, who is only a writer of fiction, is having a lot of difficulty writing in this pandemic, especially them. Especially if you run out of ideas and need a refresher so you can create new inspiration and are confused about what to do.

I have my own solution when I run out of ideas, namely by reading other people's work or watching. But sometimes after I read their work it makes me not confident about my writing, or the mood that affects me when writing, that is also one of my difficulties in writing. Once, I already had an idea for me to write about and I thought it was a good idea but in my mood I didn't want to write.

Sometimes I force myself to leave, of course by obeying the rules that have been set. But still because I went alone I still couldn't exchange ideas with other people, I was just daydreaming and confused about what to write about. I just watched around, people at their own leisure and me with my thoughts. Covid-19 has greatly affected my writing performance, but to be honest, I will also turn into someone who has to be alone in my room and doesn't want to be disturbed so I can write calmly.

Thank you to the writers who have given me a lot of inspiration through their writing or the way they write, hopefully I can be like you who are not influenced by anything when writing and can finish your writing.
