In These Uncertain Times

Dear Writers and All Beings Everywhere,

Now is the time to write and share your writing. The gifts of your raw, unedited writing and sharing from the heart  right now about your experience with and your relationship to Covid 19 are the wordsong we need now as much as our daily intake of Vitamin C, mindful breathing, friendship to self and others, and whatever else you do to stay peaceful in your body.

Please use this Blog as a place to post/comment on whatever you wish and need to share about Coronavirus and how that is affecting you. Post as much or as little as you wish. Or just read. The Beach is here for you as sanctuary, no matter where you are, no matter what you do or do not write. Retreat here as you always do. 


A student of mine referred to the need for a living document of this unprecedented time in history; so be this, a living document of the heart.

No need to edit or fancify. Just keep it raw, from the heart. Be gritty. I know I am. Be mad. Be at peace. Be you. Give advice. Be okay not knowing anything. Just write. And share. Whether it helps or not, whether it sounds poetic or cacophonous, it will help. Leave sentences unfinished. Allow for interruptions. Just write. It will help. Write a line. Write a word. Write a novel. It will help.


The two classes I have so far taught online have gone surprisingly well. It's for now. Seeing my students' faces and/or hearing their voices miraculously pop up via Zoom has lifted me in the same way it always has and always will.

If you would like to comment/add to the things I post, please please do. And, please please send me your writing to post here and I will post it asap. And if not here, post somewhere. Maybe you already are. I'm not around the social media circuit much, not sure where you're all hanging out these days,


As always, looking forward to writing with you soon. Please join me online for classes or on this page. Wherever it is, I'm here, writing with you. Love, Rox
