In the mood
Are your characters moody? What triggers their moods? What snaps them out of their darkest moods?
Most of the best writers seem to be moody, so I always wonder what triggers those moods and how those moods play into the way they portray their own characters in fiction. Does your current mood affect the scene you're writing? And how do you make certain that your own mood doesn't interrupt the basic flow of a longer piece of writing? Should we write with one mood and edit with another?
