2. The old cliche is that writers produce better art when they suffer. Writers today say that it’s the opposite, that we do better work when we’re happy. What do you think? #Writephant
@Priyajsridhar My personal opinion is that old saw came about before mental health care was a thing, and writers suffered untreated depression, anxiety, etc and wrote *despite* these things - or as a form of self-treatment, then attributed success to their misery.
