They think I write because I'm feeling emotional. Dear me. I wish I was emotional. But it's the opposite, really. I write because I feel nothing. And feeling nothing means feeling a dull thirst. I thirst for productivity. I thirst for activity. I thirst for the passion long gone. So I wring my hollow heart out for any inspiration and whatever drips from it I maximize fully, What little gasoline remains from it I use extensively. I strike a match and burn everything as much as I can, Because I know it's nonrenewable And I have to hoard ideas from it while stocks last, use it until the embers burn out.
