I am experiencing writers’ block.

I cannot seem to sit down and write.

That doesn’t mean I don’t have ideas to write. I just can’t seem to find the time to consolidate my thoughts, make sense of them, and put them into words on a screen.

Even the creation of PowerPoint decks — which are common in my line of work — is a pain these days.

Could this be a function of the second wave of COVID-19 stresses in my country?

We’ve seen increased number of cases per day in the past 4-6 weeks. And as of yesterday, there were about 8,000 new cases recorded. And I am getting worried for my family and for myself. I keep on asking when this will be over and when we will return to pre-pandemic times.

Oh.

To write again.

Writing is an escape. But it seems I can’t escape from my worries brought on by the things around me.

Oh well.

I will try to keep on writing in the next few days and weeks. Even if it doesn’t result to anything more than just a paragraph or two about how things are.

Till next time.
