I always learn from these links. Elizabeth- thanks! The one about writing about the pandemic interests me a lot. It’s had such an impact on our lives that it’s hard *not* to include it. The question is how and to what extent. It’ll be interesting to see how authors work it in.
I’ve read a couple of pandemic novels so far and they’ve been interesting (and also a little stressful!)
