When a lack thereof is all my inspiration I begin to wonder what on earth I would write about if I simply had what I want. maybe we're just doomed to write about sadness and to be sad when we can't write. maybe I should just figure a way to be happy when everything around me dies.
This battle is an ebb and flow for me. Sometimes I do push through and write about happy things, but in general writing comes easier when the weight of the world is on my shoulders.
