One of my book reading friends asked a wonderful question today to us Authors and writers. She is trying to write her first book so she isn't ready to call herself a writer other then maybe in training. Her question was do writers and authors write and created books based off of our moods? My answer was yes sometimes I do mood write because I do mood read. I found myself December going through one of my grief waves. I also hit on in December, so I told her it's why I shifted into working on my book two of my series since the start of the book is about going grief it was the prefect way for me to channel what I was feeling making the emotion for that part more real. Sometimes are a writer we need to write what we know, and raw emotions just like in acting is better than faking it like you know it when you don't.

Journaling is also a good place to write down raw emotions. I have a journal and when I am overwhelmed, I write. It helps me to release the feelings into the universe rather than shared with people who don't really care. It is a safe zone. I have never written a book but I am sure a part of me would be involved in any book or story I might try to write.

The thing with Journaling is it's personal not meant to be shared. Writer, write because they want to share those basic emotions one that others don't want to share with the world because they feel nobody but themselves will understand. Like you said it's a safe zone that is why its not shared. I write books so it can be shared, I can share and emotion I've felt countless times knowing someone will read it, someone will understand and maybe it might just help them.
