Feeling sad/tired/blue?
Your writing will probably come across as that.

Feeling fun/happy/playful?
Your writing will probably come across as that.

Here’s some brain-hacks I use myself to get in the right state of mind.

CLEAN YOUR ROOM JOHNNY!
Try to clean your room or make your bed in one minute flat.

SWEET SWEET DRUGS.
Drink some caffeine. This is a nice temprorary solution. Coffee or white tea is my fav. I’ve often had a beer when writing to switch my brain in a different mode.

WRITE FOR THE TONE YOU’RE IN:
Sometimes I’ll wake up feeling crabby, and write an article in that not-taking-any-shit tone… and the feedback is TREMENDOUS because that pissed off mood helped me relate to something others are pissed about (example: Not being where they want to be in life).
