"Many writers are sad, bookish people who are comfortable writing." Joyce Carol Oates at The Independent.
Well, bookish naturally. I don't know too many writers who are particularly sad. About average in happiness, moody, cranky, angry, misanthropic, but sad? Doesn't come to mind right away, unless it's sad to be indoors at the computer on a lovely late summer evening. Anybody?

Cranky, sometimes. Despairing of what passes for entertainment, usually. It's not limited to writers, tho.
I can be cranky...just not a morning person. I'm better after a cup of coffee.
I find that my moodiness helps my creativity. How can I write cranky characters if I've never been cranky?
