Just wondering…
Why is it that when we’re depressed and miserable and just feeling like running into a semi or driving off a cliff is when we feel most inspired to write?! or is it just me?
(not that I’ve been feeling this way lately, but.)

cuz who feels like writing when theyre having fun
but ya it seems that mental anguish does get the creative juices flowing .. drugs have the same effect :D

I believe that writing is the best remedy for our anguish. Writing is one way to put ourselves at ease.

i don’t know why, but this is so true. and it’s not just writing, it’s getting creative in general. i’m not sure whether this is a good or a bad thing since i personally miss creativity and inspiration when i’m happy but at the same time, i don’t want to be miserable just to be able to get out of the box.

Coz I figure better seek refuge in writing than allow the misery to develop into anger and get arrested!

i just think that people that are mostly inspired to write when they’re depressed in some form are quitters.
well
not quitters, but it’s just an other thing to think about! i mean, who wants to think about what’s depressing them? and when they do write about what’s depressing them, it’s most probably just an other escape from fixing the problem! just rant about it and hope it solves itself!
see what i mean?
depression and feeling sad is normal! in fact, i’m all for feeling sad for a while when you have a good reason to! but don’t friggin’ sulk and turn into some literary monkey that writs self righteously in a random line just to reach a conclusion that is corrupted by self deception.
i personally like to laugh my arse off with a good friend when i’m depressed and i’m back to noromal!
