How many find 'creative writing' as an important activity in handing challenging times?

Not quite sure what to write for the original post. I had located a WP thread from the year 2019- the latest WP thread that specializes in 'creative writing' (LINK).

After rereading this thread, I had gleaned-out important insights which remain verrry timely:

I do! :D
even did some today.
And the weekly meeting of the local creative writers group which I chanced upon in 2018 is proving an importannt component of maintaining sanity this year.

The decision to bump-up this discussion thread is quite timely.

Huh, after all this time since December, I'm only seeing posts here from you and I.
Oh well.
Anyway, tomorrow is the weekly meeting of our local creative writers group and I am really looking forward to it.
:D
