How much do your real life experiences influence your writing? Do you find that you write with a different style depending on your mood?

I was very young when I wrote Enchantress of Elektra, so a lot of it was just a preteen with a hyperactive imagination going "wouldn't it be sO COOL IF-" and then just kind of going for it. Now that I'm older I tend to think a lot more about what I'm writing, and a lot of my ideas come from the experiences I've had since my EoE days. I do write slightly different styles depending on my mood - I've noticed I write dialogue in a good mood and introspection or description when I'm frustrated or upset. It's very variable though, sometimes I just have to do what I have to do and I can't let how I'm feeling at that moment interfere with that.(less)

Most recently, I read Bram Stoker's Dracula, and I thought Mina and Jonathan Harker are incredibly underrated in pop culture given the sheer prevalence of Dracula/vampires in media.(less)

“I think I'll accept the challenge to battle. I can choose the terms, right? And I don't have the faintest idea how to 'prevent' a revolution. Besides, as far as I know, revolutions can get out of hand. Remember the German revolution, with the guillotine?"
Derna smirked. "German revolution? Guillotine? The guillotine was used in the French revolution. Nice try, little brother."
"I'm actually impressed he knew what a guillotine was," commented Armen, deadpan.
I glared at the two of them. Typical big sisters. They'd just ruined my chance to show off my knowledge.”
