Greetings Wrimos!

The planet is basically on lockdown, so all of the stuff that normally keeps you from writing is closed. Some of you are at home with even more work to do like homeschooling or monitoring online studies for kids who are used to being at school.

Whatever it is you're doing during this period in the world's history, tell your fellow wrimos IN A NOTE POSTED BELOW!

You don't have to email anyone or mail out anything. You just need to share a bit of your current situation right here on this swap page.

The April Camp NaNo swap is up and waiting for you to join.

Rate your partner a 5 for posting a comment below. Hearts can be issued at your discretion.

Here's the link to the NaNoWriMo Swap-bot Wrimos group.

I'm still working and doing pretty much my normal routine, because I'm considered essential personnel, so my writing and life are still relatively keeping apace. But I'm working on my Twitter RP storylines, my various open fanfic WiPs [there are far too many for my comfort], prepping for the three things coming up in April: NaPoWriMo, CampNaNo, and the OutlawQueen theme week [forgot the name atm], which may be part of my CampNaNo project.

I am doing a journal for a swap, which involves a lot of writing. Also working on my outline for November, and writing short stories for swaps here on Swapbot. Playing the piano and doing art work. Take care everyone.

I've been working remotely since early March. At first it was great, I actually got more done. Now it's a drag that seems neverending. So my first order of business this weekend is to come up with a schedule that has day job work time, reading time, Camp NaNo time, and down time.

The one thing that has been good... I eat when I'm actually hungry rather than according to a clock. I'll aim to listen to the body rhythms rather than clock and coworkers when we get back into the office.

Partners are assigned! Let's get swapping by writing in the comments area. That's the only thing way to get rated.

Hi, all, glad to see everyone is staying home and staying busy. Take care of yourselves. Big hugs

The other secretary in the office and I are trading out weeks. Last week, I worked a full week at the office and she took a week of vacation. This week, I'm working from home until the work runs out then I'm on vacation while she is in the office. Then we switch again.

My writing life has been pretty much nothing due to other projects taking priority and stress. My goal for Camp was originally to write the next in my series, but now it's been downgraded to just getting back in the habit of doing Morning Pages on 750words.com.

So it's now March 30 and I've been working from home since March 11. I'm truly going stir crazy. I need to go out (besides a walk -- which I didn't even get to today-grrr) to pick up a prescription, go to the grocery store and post office, but I hesitate to leave the apartment. It's safe in here. Not so much out there.

As for writing, I've written more on this swap page than I have of fiction. But a story is nagging at me. That's a good thing.

My husband and I already worked from home, so not too much has changed for us, other than not going out to restaurants and stores. Our state is now under a stay at home order, so we've been taking a daily walk around the neighborhood and trying out some new video games. :)

I'm really thankful for services like Hello Fresh, and grocery stores that offer pickup so we can stay out of the public as much as possible.

I've been working on my novel from the last NaNo, but admittedly not as much as I could be. It's a weird time in our world.

I hope everyone stays safe and healthy!
