I usually say I need to be "in a mood" to write. Except it's not really true. I write whether I have background music on or not. I don't drink much alcohol, so that doesn't apply in my case.
I write because I feel compelled. DRIVEN. I need to write. I miss it when I don't.
Hello, Kiki! I love writing with a glass of Cabernet and music set to the same time period as the piece that I am writing on. It does seem to come to life that way and is much more fun!
I agree with you on the quality of writing however, under the spell of wine and nostalgia. It is not always that great, when I read it back the next day for editing. I am trying to let go of the wine part, but that's not as fun.

I loved your essay.
