I see that it has been almost a year since I blogged last. For a second I thought it was because I've read alot, but when I think about it, I really haven't read alot either... no more than usual.

I took a look through my mailbox at at all the times I've taken the time to write something, and it turns out I've been most prolific at times when I've had doubts about the future, for example when I left Australia after three years of study, the oddness of getting used to being home, going back to Australia again and so on.

Is happiness a creativity-killer? It would seem so, especially writing. There's nothing that can feed good literature as much as doubt, insecurity, suffering, anguish and unhappiness.

Generally, when people are capable of writing when they are happy, it's uninteresting gibberish.

But I'm going to try again. It doesn't mean that I'm completely happy, but that I've been working hard to get to a point where I can be.
