Raphael Canossa asked Victoria Zigler:

Do accept my congratulations and best wishes. Your strong nature’s wonderful. Your talent is obvious. Good luck with following your dream and literature work. What do you think should a writer or poet try to write about just now, in the current situation?

Victoria Zigler Hi Raphael,

First of all, thank you for your kind words.

As for the answer to your question: you should write whatever you want. If you feel the desire or inspiration to write about the current situation, by all means go ahead and do so. If you'd rather steer clear of the topics, do that instead. Regardless of what's going on in the world at any given time, a writer of any format or genre should only feel they absolutely have to write on a particular topic if their job requires them to, otherwise you should pick your topic based on what inspires you, or which topic you feel you have something worthwhile to say in.
