Writing as an Escape during Difficult Times

Writing can serve as a powerful escape during challenging periods, providing solace and a temporary retreat from real-life struggles. While memoir writing may not offer the same level of escapism as fiction, it still provides a means for individuals to process their experiences. In the case of fiction authors, crafting stories unrelated to personal challenges can offer salvation and a much-needed distraction. Additionally, sharing writing experiences and resources can foster a sense of community and support among writers, as seen in the mention of the writing coach, Lauren Eckert, from Burning Soul Press.
