Why most people write well when they have problems, when the world is on their shoulders, when they’re sad, heartbroken, lonely and all the negative things could happen, they write better, more creative, more artistic, and more inspired than when they are happy.
—It is because when you are happy, all you want to do is to concentrate on that moment, relish it, make the most out of it. And since everybody knows that time goes by faster when you’re happy we cannot waste any moment of it to write all about it. All that your time can afford are single words that would best describe what you’re feeling; e.g. happy, bliss, perfect, pleasure, fantastic, fabulous, magical, ecstatic, wonderful, euphoric(well, you can’t even think of those deep words), dream come true. And when the time comes to write about it, the moment of happiness is gone or probably the source of our happiness is gone and all we have are the memories of those happy moments. The only way to relive those happy memories is to remember it, and probably write about it. But it will always give this biting nostalgia to it that makes you cry, most of the time. And when happiness is gone, it’s always replaced by something of the opposite. And that’s why most people write better when they are sad. Either they write about their sorrows or they write about happy memories. But other talented people just write whenever they feel like it whether they are happy or sad.
