So Nathan remarked that my recent posts have been a little emo. And he is right. I apologize.
I guess if you don’t have anything uplifting to say, you should keep your thoughts to yourself and not drag other people down into your sad and bitter world. I’ve been low on creativity lately, but I don’t believe in not working just because you’re out of ideas. Even though I’m busy with finals, I’m forcing myself to write for about an hour each day. I think if you don’t maintain your practice daily, your work loses its focus and becomes dull and weak. You lose confidence and it shows. So anyway, if I come up with anything interesting I’ll post it here, otherwise I’ll try to keep quiet until I have something nice to say.

It’s been a while. I’m far away. I’ve changed some things. Stay posted.

I don’t agree with Nathan! I like your insights. Besides, this is your site (I mean, collective “your”); you are free to post what you feel and what you want to post and if its depressing, then so be it. You are not forcing people to read it and it is not your job to make them happy.
You do not need to keep quiet until you have something nice to say. I think it is nice it when you say whatever you like.
Yeah, it has been a little emo. But I agree about practicing–and when your spirit lifts a bit, your work will pick up right there with you, and reflect all the work you’ve done since (I mean instead of sticking around as a bad habit. Just don’t stay sad and bitter; that will kill it like a polar bear devouring a baby seal, his fangs glistenin with blood and–well you know what I’m saying.)
I agree that we must always be writing. It’s tough to stick to. I struggle with feeling like everything I write has to be Important.
Don’t know if you know who I am, but your brother does. I say, keep writing. Here is as good a place as any.
It is one of things I can never understand … how people can think that way. It’s so illogical that it can only be based upon moronity.
