After reading yesterday's post I want to assure everyone that I am not contemplating suicide I was just in a funk from not being able to write anything decent - a dry spell, nothing more, that passed within a day.
I think every writer goes through these periods of despondency, these dark hours when you doubt your ability to produce anything of worth. It's part of the manic-depressive cycle of creativity where periods of depression are counterbalanced by manic happiness where words pour out of you like a golden shower and nothing, absolutely nothing written has any faults whatesoever.
Of course, that opinion changes when you start editing.
So today I revert to my manic state and write, write, write, ever hopeful that this day will actually be good instead of just feeling that way.
