Anytime that I've felt uninspired, I don't force myself to sit down and write. I only do it when I feel the impulse.
If it weren't the problem of politics for me, it would be another. And yet, sometimes it's so difficult. And I feel sorry for myself. And then hate myself for this feeling of self-pity.
My own experience is that a certain kind of genius among students is best brought out in bed.
