My question is, what inspires you more and makes the creative juices flowing?
During sad times and experiences or during happy ones?
I for myself observed that some of my more powerful work of poetry, were produced during sad times or moments. Just curious on yours.

I am also more inspired by sad times, spitzaer...probably because during happy ones I'm actually doing something fun!
During sad times, such as thinking about happy times I miss, I usually just want to go off by myself somewhere quiet and think, curled up in a chair near a window. With paper. And a pencil.
I'm most inspired by love...not necessarily of people, but of life. And since I love living so much (the fact that all of us living beings on earth are alive), my feeling of love is inherently affected by sadness, too, because anytime I love something or someone, I know I will lose that experience or those individuals, and they will lose themselves eventually also. So, love for me always has sadness woven through it.
I am also very inspired by anger. Anger is actually a big motivator for a lot of what I write. I feel anger about harm coming to someone I love or care about. So, once again, the root feeling motivating my writing, even my angry writing, is love.
