Does your mood affect your writing?

Recently a friend of mine made a rather interesting comment. She said that what she reads is related to how she feels. I got to thinking about it and had to agree. I find that not only does my mood affect what I'm reading but what I writing.

With so many things happening around here lately, my mood hasn't been my usual cheery self. There's fires all over southern British Columbia, we even had one a mile or so from our house. To top it all off I'm not acting as advicate for my son - who's special needs - dealing with other family issues and working.

To say my plate is full is an understatement. It has affected my moods, my energy level to. My writing is a bit more grittier of late than normal. I'm working on three projects right now and how I"ve managed to keep them all straight and keep my brain from exploding I don't know. But its made me think so I figured I'd ask this of all the authors.

Do you write according to your overall mood or mentality. I know everyone writes what they know but if you're having a bad day does it reflect in your writing? I'd love to know so drop a comment or shoot me an message.

Talk to you next time.
