“We need people who are taking the stress of this time and turning it into art, even if it\u2019s solely for the effect it has on the artist.” \u2014 Nathan Bransford<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guest Blogger Nathan Bransford shares tips about how to write during stressful times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing  is one of the best ways we have to turn darkness into light<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some tips that have worked for me [Nathan] when I needed to write and life circumstances were interfering in a big way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~If you have the means and ability to write during this time, you have it really<\/em> good. Recognize your luck. Let that privilege sink in. Let it guide you toward being a better and more generous person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~Self-quarantining and working from home might free up time, which could feel like a huge opportunity that you don\u2019t want to pass up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But paradoxically, having a lot of time to write can actually slow you down<\/a>. And that\u2019s during calm times. You\u2019re probably not going to work as quickly as you normally do. Don\u2019t beat yourself up about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~ The benefits of meditation for writing<\/a> during times of anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
