or keeping a journal?i have plans, i have the best of plans. i'm a journalist and unless i have a hard deadline, i will procrastinate. i did try this morning, this morning i made two entries. but it was very interesting to see the progression of thought and how moving from the stage of panic buying, how do we source everything that we need to have in the house to moving forward to spend some time in the garden and put my hand in the dirt and feel okay about things. but one of the things i was thinking about and that's been extraordinary in that this is done, because we moved to a virtual world that were talking about earlier, this authenticity and vulnerability that we see in people because we see people in their homes and then kids come up in your outer work meeting and there's an animal or kid and all this other sort of stuff and be professional or expertise or whatever that is troops away and you get to see the full humanity of the people that you know in a very different way. that has been a very diffe

because fiction would be a journal or a journal that's just using the form.oe certainly wrote fiction and based it on his uncle's notes and they were real. they were notes of ak actuality. i'm not sure that distinction makes much difference when you're reading. there are some events, as the five of us too well know, as well as the wonderful audience for this book festival. there are some events so big and so preposterous, so unbelievable, that they seem like fiction when we're experiencing them and this is one of them, the pandemic is one of them. so, when somebody writes a journal of the pandemic, it no doubt, people would think you're making that up. but of course, we're not making it up. >> it does kind of feel like something we've read a lot about and post apocalyptic fiction, doesn't it? >> absolutely. >> so erica, much of rogers work as a writing teacher, i imagine, and roger you can correct me if i'm wrong, involves providing prompts to your students. and in many ways, i think that leaving our fingerprint project feels like the mother of all prompts, i
