And to be "artistic" you could leave it halfway done to drive home the essence. :D
Yeah, I like that. The best writing is the stuff that comes from truth. You could write about not writing until you had to and now art springs from pressure. Similar to how a diamond is formed by immense pressure inflicted on coal over time.The ridiculous nature of attempting to 'force' arts creation. Sitting quietly at your desk, late, pen in hand, waiting for creativity to strike....etc.
