I'm a lapsed writer and artist. After a long hiatus, I'm trying to revitalize my creative side, so in a lot of ways I'm starting from scratch. I used to joke that people who demanded that lit and art must come from a dark place were shortsighted, but then I entered an incredibly bright part of my life and my need for creative expression just sort of fell off. Self-fulfilling prophecy? No, just young and in love. While I'm still in that happy place, I have a more mature (at least that's what I tell myself) attitude about just trying to express whatever you're feeling however you can.
