I'm not sure if this is right for this part of Stackexchange, but since there is no psychology section, here we go: I'm currently writing the same short story several times with the intention of conveying one very intense emotion each time. I'm wondering if "putting yourself" in the emotion charges you to write better to that effect. I'm trying to imagine some link similar to the one in acting. I've heard that thinking of something sad to make oneself cry, or Heath Ledger's depression he experienced during his role as the Joker, one so intense he ended up needing medication. Is there a connection between the emotion a writer is feeling with how a feeling is being conveyed in the writing?
