Bouts of creativity

I'm a sucker for well-written short fiction by people I've met at least once before. It inspires me when I witness the outpour of emotionally-charged writing from mind to happy media. delenn, in her latest offering, does a wonderful job of describing a tense, yet subtle moment in time. Sometimes when I read work like this, I fall into a strange pit of depression, as I con myself into believing that I can never quite express myself in similar terms.

Not through visual art, writing or music. Not through Flash or blog layouts. It pains me to realise that I refuse to indulge my creativity simply because others can do it so much better. I think it's beginning to frustrate me, resulting in unparallelled irritation and rashness. I need an outlet, or I will just explode from both the desire to express and the fear of mediocrity.

The irony, as always, is not lost on me.
