Some people use writing as an outlet to deal with the problems of life. Other people let a depressed mood keep them from writing. How does your mood affect what you write about and how productive you are?
For me, every time I get into a funk I feel compelled to trash the novel I've been developing for the last 11 months. When I'm down I can't write. When I can't write I get down. Then I feel like tossing my WIP into a drawer somewhere and just avoiding the whole cycle.
How does your mood affect your writing? Do you do anything to prevent a bad mood from trashing your novel, or to harness a great mood into helping you churn out pages?
