Write Away

For me I think it's a weird balance. I have to have enough going on to keep my brain active and wanting to be active, but I need enough quiet downtime to actually focus. A little melancholy can help, but actual depression kills my work.

There was a post on fandom secrets yesterday about feeling the urge to write when you're supposed to be doing something else (don't know if that was someone here or unrelated), and I've noticed that's absolutely the case for me. I always felt like writing in class, and now I notice that often if I do some work, I'll start to get into a writing mood. Getting my brain going, regardless of my mood, seems most important for me. But it's generally easier to get my brain going when I'm in a decent mood.
