Message: <blockquote data-quote="SableWyvern" data-source="post: 1704074" data-attributes="member: 1008">Some of the stories in Stephen Donaldson's Reave the Just anthology were written during his divorce, and he states in his introduction that all (or at least most of) were influenced in some way by it.And it happens to contain some excellent stories, overall being vastly superior to his first anthology (Daughter of Regals). Additionally, IIRC, the Gap series was also at least partially written over that same period, and it too is exceptional reading IMO.I personally find it much easier to write when I'm either very happy or very depressed. After final getting through a very messy break-up many years ago, I found myself missing the angst from time to time, ruing the sudden difficulty I had finding inspiration.So, in short, I strongly disagree with the original assertion.</blockquote>
