[ WP ] You hate this writing prompt .

I clicked and clacked away without pleasure. 
 
 This was my life now. All the fun had run out of it. 
 
 Once, I had been a writer. Not a great one, not a well known one, but I had been published on a few sites. Still, I always created my own world. 
 
 Alas, the creativity I once had ran out. No longer capable of creating my own world, I sought inspiration from others. I sought refuge in creative writing prompts. It was n't the same. I hated writing something that was n't one hundred percent mine. I felt it akin to plagiarism. Still, I wrote occasionally, just to hone the blades of the mind. But there was no joy in it. 
 
 I felt hollow. Each prompt was a variation of the same ideas, the same motifs, chopped up and served again as something they tried to call new. 
 
 I hated it. And yet, it was what I kept at, to keep sane. Why?
