Hemmingway once said that we write better on an empty stomach. On the other hand, in “A Room of One’s Own” Virginia Woolf suggested something along the lines of “dine well, write well” (and the procurement of a rich aunt.) In “The World According to Garp” John Irving’s main character discovered that writing after he masturbated was not a good idea. I write well when my energy is high and I’m feeling good. And while depression destroys my writing, I know that many writers seem to do quite well with it.
What helps you guys write? When do you write well?
