Being so digitally dependent through persistent lockdowns and with minimal social contact beyond Zoom windows combined have brought on a brain fog. Some days it makes writing - and finding the energy for it - challenging.

An urge to do more writing than beyond my job. And like many, I've had time to reflect which on a positive front, fuels writing even further.
