    1. I don't actually consider VIX when writing options.

      However high VIX always benefits the writer (if trade is properly managed). This is because the premium increases as VIX increases but at the same time by expiry, the premium has to come down to zero.

      Also, it is normal that in times of correction or any panic, VIX shoots up but afterwards it comes down so the benefit goes to the writer.
