When is the Right Time To Write

I find myself in a quandary. 

Due to extenuating circumstances right now, I am not in a good headspace.

My lizard brain has been activated and active and I have always found writing as a way to help me to quiet the lizard brain.  The problem is my writing is taking on a dark undertone that I don't find appealing.  Don't get me wrong, sometimes writing...real, honest writing can (and should) be shaded. But it can't consume.  

When you start a blog that starts out with the loss of life (either from death, divorce, or growing apart) and another that starts out with a condemnation of overt hypocrisy, you know you are heading down a dark and dreary road. 

So when is the right time to write?  During good times or bad?  Happy or sad?  Introspective (or as my wife calls it, "thinky") or looking outward onto the rest of the world? 

I guess the answer is "yes." 

Writing for me is a release so I can't feel bad if my writing takes on a dark undertone sometimes.  I also don't want to write only when times are Pollyanna.  The teeter-totter balances in the middle for a reason. 

I might still publish my two darker ones or I might just keep them as drafts.  Sometimes, just getting feelings out there into the universe, makes all the difference.  

My keyboard becomes my therapist without expensive visits or comfy couches. 

Write when it feels right. Not when you think it might be wrong.  

Right?
