It’s been amazing for me. I was screenwriting before but then the industry ground to a halt. Instead I found Medium and all the publications here and have written for several including you guys at Forge. Medium alone has let me step back from the film industry ready to go traveling and earn while I go, and finish my travel book, also half written during lockdown.

Without lockdown I’d still be writing screenplays. But I prefer this so I’ll stick with it. I know I’m one of the lucky ones, and it feels a bit wrong saying it while India and others are having such problems, but the pandemic has worked out pretty well for me.
