Wow! The world is a wild place right now. We definitely need a support group this April—thanks to Alex Cavanaugh for hosting.
I appreciate the hard-working co-hosts for the April IWSG: Diane Burton, JH Moncrieff, Anna @ Emaginette, Karen @ Reprobate Typewriter, Erika Beebe,and Lisa Buie-Collard!
How’re you holding up through the COVID-19 crazies? I strive for a balance between caution and optimism; between flipping out and resilience. I’m lucky to be healthy and to keep working as a psychologist. I spend my workdays video counseling.
Since I’m not traveling or socializing on the weekends, I’m writing more. Happily, I passed the halfway point (~41K words) on my WIP, sports romance Rivals.
Here’s a good article about our grief during this time. But most of all, memes keep me going! Here are a few favorites:
Hehehe.
My BLOCKED trilogy is on sale from April 1-8. If you have the time to share, here’s a social media post to paste:

Alex, I did video sessions on rare occasions before this–insurance often didn’t approve it but all bets are off now–and I agree that it will become more of the norm. I’m missing the energy of the client in the room so I hope it doesn’t become TOO normal.

Laughter is such good medicine. So many people just aren’t able to let themselves have a moment of comic relief right now and that’s just sad. Times are serious, but we have to have a bit of levity at some point. Thanks for sharing and letting folks know it’s okay to laugh right now. 🙂

Hi Dixie, it might be tough to laugh if a loved one is sick or has died, but I hope we can all judge each other less during this crisis–everyone copes differently.
