The Colony

Nope.

I write to escape the state of the world

Can totally understand that. Very strange/dangerous time. But I do believe we’re transitioning to something better.

I can't settle if I'm very anxious. I know what you mean. The state of a loved one has been a worry recently. But as for 'the world', no. It's always in an anxious state, whether we're aware of it or not, personally threatened or inconvenienced or not, as old certainties shift. Uncertainty or downright threat. The very food of many writers. I see no coming cataclysm. But I'm grateful not to live in Gaza.

World events or otherwise do affect me and until I can throw some "light", solution, consolation on the matter, I'm too agitated/worried to write.
