If it profits you, it's no longer insanity, but "creative eccentricity". That's really the only distinction.

One thing I've noticed that as a writer you can explain away all sorts of "eccentricities" simply because you write. (Whether it's gynecology articles or fiction) and people just kind of nod their heads and are like "Oh okay" like that makes some sort of sense.

There's an official VR version of Skyrim on the way. I'll have to tempt you into spending some of your future Steemit earnings on a Rift.

I'd love a rift, just haven't been able to justify sinking money into a device yet. It's entirely possibly I might be able to afford one with steemit through some work.

The way you describe the colors and feelings of your books strikes me as vaguely synesthetic btw. It's very beautiful.

I don't have synesthesia (except when I'm on acid) but have very strong.. "sense" feelings, if that stupid phrase makes any sense. Finally getting to know what synesthesia was like was amazing.

Your trash is my treasure. Misery is the most powerful creative fuel there is, and the entire secret to my success.

I can't deny that being fueled by misery has produced a lot of things that I'm proud of. And inside misery I find many things that have pushed me forward to be the person that I am today. I just personally don't feel like it's a sustainable method (for me). I'd like to be able to touch down into those strong emotions, like sadness, without it being the locus for all of my being.
