Sarra asked Trevor D. Richardson:

what pushes you most to write ??

Trevor D. Richardson Frustration. I've never had to deal with writer's block because I tend to write from a place that is very similar to feeling blocked already. When the heaviness of my own personal circumstances, those of my country, or even something global feels heaped up on my brain like a cartoon anvil, that's when I start typing to purge that frustration. It's a constructive way to deal with negative emotions.

Make no mistake, negative emotions have value and can be transmuted into something epic if you use them right. You're told to strive for happiness at all times, and that people who are angry are bad. Not true. There is good anger, and I think I have it. I'm betting you have some too.
