“Inspiration” is essentially a headspace that is connected to mental health first thing, if you conceptualize it in a way that sounds legit. As someone who published both research works (and could do that even in the worst times of my life because it’s simply work) and fiction, that I did struggle to retrieve at times, because going to the headspace of imaginary worlds and events when people close to you suffer is challenging and there is a block, I can tell you that it absolutely is not “rubbish” and you have no authority to speak on it whatsoever. The greatest minds of civilizations couldn’t finish their works, destroyed it, destroyed themselves over it, but sure, it’s rubbish lmao

Well with all due respect you’re not A Song of Ice and Fire author and equating yourself just because you also write is a stretch.

People talk about writing and other products of a mind that need to exercise imagination like this because imagination is a muscle. Once you hurt your muscle you can’t run for a time and mental health matters. You don’t know him.

Writing is not the same as accounting or sewing. It’s a creative process that takes inspiration to do like any other art. Maybe he just couldn’t do it, maybe something in his life happened that blocked his mind from going to the place where his stories happen and he just couldn’t connect with the world he created for some time. It’s unfair to demand something from a creator that he cannot control.
