"Many of us are driven to write through experiences born from pain, generating a need
|
|
to uniquely express our own inner turmoil. Light-hearted inspiration is certainly an
|
|
enviable reason to tap into one’s creative juices, but those feelings don’t stimulate the
|
|
kinds of thoughts that lodge within me and grow in complexity. I can pinpoint a tragic,
|
|
life-changing event occurring in my mid-teens that transformed me into a writer, and
|
|
it seems that the weightier side of life continues to be my motivation." -Keith Steinbaum
