Being Grumpy

I think there's a lot of truth to this article because I've found that I can think much more clearly in a bad mood than in a good one. As far as all the tests talked about in the article go, I can't really comment on them because I'm not really a scientist, although they do sound like good tests. But I definitely think I write better in a bad mood. It's easier to think about the topic at hand when there aren't another million thoughts going through your head about how nice it is outside or all the fun things you'd rather be doing at the moment. When you're writing in a bad mood it's also easier to really let your emotions out on the page, which will most likely lead to better writing than just a list of all the nice things that are going on in your life.
