I'm not happy when I'm writing, but I'm more unhappy when I'm not.

I'm very unhappy when I'm not writing.

Everything can be going well, but if I'm not writing, I'm not happy. When I'm writing well, I'm like a different person.

I am always writing. It is not always good, but if I am writing, I am usually happy.

I basically never feel like writing. I am a happy-go-lucky, relaxed, fun-seeking kind of person. And working disturbs that, because it puts me in a state of anxiety.

I love writing, and I am never as happy as when I have a week, a month - three months - with nothing to do but write.

I don't do all that well in the writerly world. I'm happier being outside the flow.

When I'm writing well, I feel happy. And when I go too long without writing, I begin to implode.

My wife likes me better when I'm writing. It centers me and makes me more calm. When I go a long time without writing, I start getting frustrated.
