The biggest affect my mood has on my work is that when I'm bummed or maybe tired is simply that nothing at all "happens" to begin with. I don't reach that feeling of being in a groove where everything goes away until you come up for air in a panic at 3am on a workday. :-) And then spend the next 5 days totally wrapped up in the image, even at work. I tend to just listlessly and half-heartedly go thru the motions of making a fractal image and end up with nothing even halfway decent when I'm all blase' or tired out. When I reach that engrossed point I'm beyond "happy"...there's no word for it, I reckon...maybe "joy-sessed"? Those times don't come at will, so you spend a LOT of time waiting for the inspiration to take hold and you have to remember the "high" of the last one and persevere thru the dry spells and believe, sooner or later, it will strike again.
