The Virus made writing impossible

So I went out to get my share of notebooks and got thoroughly chewed out because I don't own a mask and putting something on my face actually doesn't always work for me. I tried to explain, but apparently, this just turned into a why bother moment. So I decided that the Dragon's Library will be closing up shop until further notice or until I get a steady supply of notebooks that I can use for writing. People honestly are unpleasant, and makes me not want to write anymore.

I also had to close down my Shadow Tales: On Going FB Story because the D&D group that comes to my house during my fiance's sessions no longer can come over. I am basically stuck and unable to move any further from what projects  I am working on, so I figured this just another reason to give up on writing.

I love to write and I love to make stories, but right now, COVID-19 just shut my down for awhile, and I am having a lot of trouble with ideas. I sit staring at a piece of paper and realize, I have to make sure to make it last...and sadly writing a story is trivial in the eyes of majority of this country. My ability to write is a trivial thing and though it keeps me happy, it pisses other people off, so I am giving up.

I don't know what else I can do...I have an FB page and works...I don't know whether I should just give up or just tell people the book is delayed for indefinitely which means it maybe forever before I can start writing again.

The question arises as to why I won't use a computer, the reason is it is too simple to miss mistakes or errors on a computer, some programs don't check for grammar or sentence issues. So I do it myself and re-edit the books at least 3 times. Sadly, I usually write everything down and keep a record of it. I don't trust the notebooks when I am done, I use it as reference if I need to. Using a computer makes it harder because I am more concerned with messing up.

Though I do write fan fiction using a computer and writing anything, that is because I have a pre-set world with pre-set rules. With my books, I am the one making the rules and I have to make sure they work. This means I write it all down in note books and then reference them continually, If I used a computer to keep track of it, I lose track and I get confused.
