Where Can I Buy a Mood Ring?
Remember mood rings? Or maybe you weren't born yet. :) Anyway . . .
How much does our mood effect what we read, or even what we write?
The other day, I felt "dark." Don't know why. Perhaps the weather here, which has been snowy, rainy, foggy--all around dreary. So, I stopped in at our local library intent on borrowing an audiobook to "uplift me." A light romance--ala Evanovich or Crusie.
I walked out with the unabridged Bram Stoker's Dracula. Fifteen CD's of darkness. Actually, I've always wanted to read this anyway, since it is a classic. But, it's so . . . dark. And it totally fit my mood that day.
What am I writing now? A dark gothic-style Victorian. Is it the winter that brings this on? I shelved my 1/2 comedic story and moved on to a story that fits my mood and the landscape around me.
What about the rest of you? Does your mood, the weather, your landscape determine what you read or write?

Ohhhh, yes! Very much so. I'm finding it hard to get back into MQLC because I'm not feeling the "angst" as I was when the idea hit. Could be a good thing, though. Maybe the January Jump Start Jam over on RWAOL will help.
I can't wait to read your victorian, E!!

I don't know, E.
I'm drawn to dark stuff even on the brightest day.
Even when I've laughed myself silly, I want a dark tale.
Then sometimes I pick up a fluffy and quickly return to the dark.
I think your Vic has been calling for a long time.
H...what we going to do about you and the MQLC?
