I think that the closest I get to ‘happy’ in my writing is ‘funny,’ which is fantastically shitty because I should be able to write happy things occasionally, something that isn’t jumped-up gallows humor. it feels necessarily limiting to paint with varying shades of black and gray. I need to work on that.
Writing makes me happy when it connects strongly with feelings I’ve had, whether or not those are happy feelings. A lot of times the happiness I pull from a story has nothing to do with pleasant things happening—Life of Pi is a perfect example. That story made me immeasurably sad, but the writing was so understandable and the moment was so beautifully captured that I couldn’t help but feel good after I read it, and I started to see my own world in the words of the author, and it brought majesty into common scenery. I cried hard, and it was a good cry. I think you’re well on your way to that. (Have you read Life of Pi? Gorgeous. Just flipping gorgeous.)
