It depends a lot of what you are to write. Shorter pieces like blogposts, it doesn't matter so much what mood I haven. But longer writings, like the (non-fiction) book I'm writing and researching right now, does involve the right mindset.
I don't really like the word mood for this, that implies it's emotional, whereas it has not much to do with that.
Music is the key!
In my experience, having the right music that fits your mindset/mood for the thing you're writing is key. Certain of my chapters are written on specific pieces of music on repeat. :)
Lots of writers talk of repetitive music but I think that would kill my mind. I am 'sshhh, I'm writing' type.
I wish I had the patience and drive to write a book. I wish you the best of luck :)
It's not so much repetitive music, but a specific piece of music (often without lyrics), that I repeat.
And I don't think it's about luck. But about perseverance. (And blocking out things with less priority...)
Oh, not in the writing, I wish you the luck for the book. Luck does play a role there as parts of it are largely in others hands :)
Ah, very true. * I guess I still have a lot to learn regarding publishing *
But I'm very happy with the publisher I found,and who seemed to immediately understand what direction I aimed for with my book. So very grateful to them already, even if not a single copy will be sold :)
