My om and I were talking earlier today and for some reason we got on the topic of authors. Now, I've noticed something lately and I've had a few other lovers of writting tell me they agree: is it simply an author thing that we write the best when we're depressed? I don;t know about everyone, but I seem to write the best when I'm extremely depressed. I mean, I suppose it comes out ok when I'm just feeling normal, but when I'm happy and I try to write it turns out completely terrible. It always sounds great when I'm writting it, but when I look later... I just have to vommit. It's terrible!
I know this isn't true for everyone, but it's got to be common. My mom thinks it's because it's an intense emotion and that is projected when writting. It makes sense, and I totally agree with her because I've noticed that when I feel cynical, I projecty it onto my characters. When I feel evil, it's easier to describe things.
Eh. This is just an interesting little tidbit I thought of. ^.^ That's all I guess.
