Any writers struggling with motivation [View all]

during this very dark time? If so, what do you do to stay with it? I feel like the world I’m writing about is on a the verge of collapse. If so, then why bother to finish my project that is set in current times?

Now it sounds like I’m whining. 😫. I need for somebody to tell me to snap out of it and get a grip.
