Write as if you were dying.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I can't write it would be as if I died.
I always individuate myself from other writers who say they would die if they couldn't write. For me, I'd die if I couldn't read.
If I went for too long without writing, I would start to feel like something inside me was dying.
If I didn't write my soul would dry up and die.
It's a very romantic sentiment, but to think that you would die if you didn't write, well, I would definitely choose to not write and live.
I feel like if I couldn't write, I would explode.
I write because I know that one day I will die, and thus I should experience as many deliberate observations, careful thoughts, wild ideas, and deep emotions as I can before that day occurs.
Write something, even if it's just a suicide note.
It was either write or die for me.
I write about living, not dying.
