Thought for the day ...

I wrote for nearly six hours. When I stopped, the dark mood, as if by magic, had folded its cloak and gone away.

    Zane Grey was the first "adult" writer I ever read. I was ten and I loved horses/cowboys.

    I think this quotation nails something and explains why so many depressives (with talent) find expressing themselves in words/paint/whatever keeps the demon at bay.
