With all the extra time at home during the pandemic, it seems like we all should have written multiple books and launched amazing creative projects….but that's probably not reality.
Author and writing mentor Tracey Baptiste has some advice for writing under pressure and during the pandemic, starting with some wisdom we really love: take naps and stay hydrated.
Tracey Baptiste is the author of the popular middle-grade Jumbies novels and a faculty member in Lesley University's MFA in Creative Writing low-residency program.
