Of Being A Creative: Suffering

To write is to suffer.
To not write is to suffer.
To suffer is to suffer.
To be happy a writer must write.
Therefore to be happy a writer must suffer or find joy in suffering, while self-psychoanalyzing to resolve inner turmoil via the sublime medium of writing.

Adapted from Woody Allen’s 1975 movie Love and Death

That’s some deep stuff. I don’t want you to suffer but I feel its essential for you to keep writing.
