I'm never more miserable than when I write, and never more happy than having finished and having it sitting in front of me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not happy when I'm writing, but I'm more unhappy when I'm not.
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.
There are times when I'm really happy and I write something really sad, and vice versa.
I hardly ever write when I'm just feeling great.
When I'm writing well, I feel happy. And when I go too long without writing, I begin to implode.
Although I think I'm relatively happy as a person, I think there's something unhappy at the root of all my writing. I'd say optimistic but unhappy. Nothing that's particularly original, other than that we're going to live and die, and terrible things happen.
Sometimes people ask, 'Does writing make you happy?' But I think that's beside the point. It makes you agitated, and continually in a state where you're off balance. You seldom feel serene or settled.
I'm less crazy and unhappy when I'm writing.
I am always writing. It is not always good, but if I am writing, I am usually happy.
I'm very unhappy when I'm not writing.
