Every drop of ink in my pen ran cold.

Summary

This quote signifies a sudden loss of inspiration or creativity. The "ink in my pen" represents the writer's ability to express themselves artistically or convey their thoughts and emotions. When the ink runs cold, it implies that the writer's flow of ideas has dried up, and they are left feeling uninspired or unable to continue writing. It illustrates the frustrating experience of hitting a creative block and being unable to produce anything meaningful.
