Mood, Creativity, and Psycho-Babble

[xi_o_teaz]

As I'm re-upping my Psycho-Babble proficiency, I'm coming across quite a few memes that I am finding anywhere from "interesting" to "intriguing" to "inspiring." All emphasis is mine, for my own reasons. I'm going to post them here in my LJ primarily for my own reference, but feel free to comment or do your own free-associations on these posts

I'm not doubting you but my personal experiences of writing more on my novel to escape pain differs widely, but then I GM, story tell and perform rite much better when I am up.

I've also bought into the meme of the "tortured artist is the best," and the above bolded (and enlarged) text is news to me. But I like it, and would prefer to adopt this beLIEf over the more popular beLIEf--it's certainly more useful to me ;-)
