I have to write about everything. Writing is my only way of expressing myself without getting interrupted in the middle of a sentence

I can write randomly... really well... yet I find if i'm too depressed it comes out as an unrecognisable jumble of barbed wire and depressive ramble. Seriously. 0_o
Also, I cant write about love or happiness. Well, I can write about heart-ache, but not very well. I find it takes a very good poet [definately not like me] to produce a good, readable peice on happiness.

Music, incense or liquor; drink like a man, think like a woman.

I have found that the worst things in life make great writing subjects.

I definitely think that when we are feeling strongly about any emotion at the moment that is when we need to write about it because our emotions are the strongest and a lot more personality will come out there's just so much more material there when your mood is the strongest whatever you are going through I totally believe that so I find feeling really pissed about something or very depressed or very heartbroken or what have you I will just sit down and start writing my heart out about it that's the best kind I think

I ended up voting for 'Randomness,' though I could've easy gone for 'Sadness' since I believe my writing normally tends to sound vaguely melancholy. However, when I'm actually feeling down, it's impossible to do anything creative. So, oddly, I can only do so in a more relaxed, content, "happier" state of mind (Haha.)
Besides all that, I try drawing inspiration from various things besides my own feelings (art, music, nature, ideas, etc.)

I use to write about the elements a lot, I was writing poems based off of dreams I have had when I was younger. Which almost caused me to be put in an institution because it worried my mom. But, now it's anything and everything. I've lost mytouch.
