Besides coughing and discomfort in the heart and lungs, I've had no other symptoms lately. Today, I originally went to the hospital to check my lungs, but the hospital was overcrowded and I couldn't even get an appointment—disappointed to return home. By the way, my sense of smell has also disappeared; I can't detect any scent even when I'm in the bathroom. What I'd like to share is that since I've recovered from the illness, I've suddenly found myself unable to write books. How to put it? Before, I used to write fluently—my thoughts flowed effortlessly, and I didn't need to think about my words or come up with anecdotes on the spot. Now, after getting sick, I have to repeatedly think through a scene for a long time before I can even begin to write it down. A single paragraph or a scene description often makes me stall for hours, unsure of how to begin. It feels as if my brain has lost its ability to think or develop storylines. This morning's chapter, I've been working on it since yesterday and have written for over ten hours—my original version of four thousand words has been completely deleted. What I'm sending now is the second draft. This situation was almost unimagin Moreover, I've found that now it's unexpectedly difficult to write an 8,000-word piece, no matter how hard I try—I simply can't manage two chapters at a time. The past few days have been filled with anxiety. Additionally, I've been trying to outline the subsequent plot developments, but unlike in the past, this process now leaves my mind completely bewildered. After years of writing, I've never encountered such a situation before—I'm deeply anxious, even extremely anxious. I don't know how other authors are faring, but as far as I'm concerned, COVID-19 has dealt my writing career a devastating, almost transformative blow. I'm praying this is temporary.
