I have made some more 'in depthy' posts recently (nazi, serbis ,a syria series)and really enjoyed doing them.
And yesterday I did a long critical piece - and really enjoyed doing that also..
but that being said, sometimes my mood is just not serious enough to do serious pieces...(at detriment to myself I think, but I post according to my mood...)
I'm not beating myself up - I have only been doing this for 9 months - after 30 years of doing nothing like it, so I realize I'm still in a 'first steps' stage..
I think mood comes into it if trying to focus but, any mood can support some kind of content.
I agree with you on that...The conflict for me arises when my mood can dictate my focus...
(for the more undisciplined types like me, not you! lol)
