If only I had the time. That is what many writers... or wannabe writers... say.

If only I had the time to write, then I would write. But alas, too often life gets in the way.

Well, this week and next week, and for the foreseeable weeks after that, thanks to COVID-19, we all have a little extra time on our hands. Sequestered in our respective alcoves free from the threat of disease, we stare at the walls, our phones, and each other, wondering what to do with our time.

Why not write now?

You have no more excuses. The whole world has been put on hold. You have been told to stay inside. For your own good, and the good of mankind.

The good news is if you are writing, you are not locked in quarantine, you are wherever your imagination takes you. Racing through the streets of France, hiking the mountains of the Himalayas, or cruising the coast of the Keys.

Turn off the TV. Put down the phone. Kill the internet. Do you really want all that in you anyway?

Instead, create something. So when all this nonsense is said and done, you have something to show for it. A story. A screenplay. A start to a career you have always wanted.

So quit complaining. About the circumstance. And start embracing it.

This is what you have been waiting for.
