What mood are you usually in when you write?

I like this question, it is a great question. The page is blank and my mood is blank too. So I ask the blank page, what it want me to do to it. What type of words it want to be decorated with and in what order. Then like magnetism, the words in my mind are being pulled out of my brain onto the blank page. Somebody blessed me when I was younger, not to take things too seriously and to not complain about bad things happening in my life. They blessed me so well that I can hear the whispers of the stars from other galaxies, telling me to return to the place of origin, the source of creation. The sauce.
Usually an energetic, good mood, despite mood-style of scribbling's
I have to be clear headed or it just comes out a jumbled mess...my mind betrays me with muddled thoughts or too many at once otherwise.
If im depressed and Write....I tend to annoy myself and erase it all.

Depends on what I'm writing ... Sometimes it's sparked by something that happened on the day. Sometimes I need to create a mood ... Recently wrote a short fiction piece that took place during WWII - so I watched INGLORIOUS BASTARDS - to take my mind there ... The movie was a live action graphic novel, cartoonish even ... But it helped me establish tempo and tension in my story as well as the language of the day
Like whatever.
Usually.
I used to be high most of the time.
When I'm too emotional I sometimes get a block. Usually when I'm having trouble being honest with myself. I think my poetry used to come out as a emotional blurb, tangent, whatever you want to call it. Written very well but meaning little besides frustration. Writing like that started to change when an English teacher of mine that I gave some poetry to put in a competition criticized my lack of form. That was before I realized(I'm still realizing) that my poetry is not, as it were, the shiz. Plus it's easy to write the truth when I'm high but it's not possible to connect with it
