Moods

How your mood effects what you write.

 

Sitting here contemplating the thin line between happy and mad

 

how fragile is a good mood, and how permanent a bad one feels

 

When you're in a good one, words flow so easily;

 

When you're in a bad one, not so much

 

Of course, that's just me, it may be different for you;

 

I just find it almost impossible to concentrate when I'm down

 

My train of thought left the station an hour ago, sans me!

 

Reflective pondering is another state of mind,

 

asking who, what, and where, and usually receiving no reply

 

Happy or reflective pondering make for creative writing;

 

angry makes for a tougher road, because it's so

 

hard not to rant and rave and lash out; it's so easy

 

to sound close-minded, small-minded, and downright vindictive

 

when under the influence of this emotion; yet, for me, in a way,

 

it makes it easier, I just don't write; sounds simple, right?

 

Unfortunately, anger also leads to lack of focus and judgment,

 

so sometimes I attempt to write under the influence of wrath;

 

and when I do, invariably, it leads to regret!

It's too easy to gt angry, write something hateful, and post it with a click of the mouse. Once that's done you can't delete it, however much you may regret it. And I think too many people write when they're unhappy, settling a cloud of gloom all over he place. And a lot of people write simply because they think they ought to be writing, even if they have nothing to say.

Thanks Marie, and every once in a while? Guilty as charged!
