What helps you get in the mood to write? Music? A great hot beverage? Something else special?

I'm typically a morning writer, and when it's dark out in the winter months, I like to light candles near where I am writing. I usually have playlists for the different pieces I am working on; otherwise I'll turn on RainyMood for some nature sounds.

Taking a break to read. Specifically, I am rereading Stephen King's It, since the movie (which was excellent, BTW) left me feeling a need to dive back into that universe and spend more time with those characters. It also left me emotionally drained, so I am recuperating before I write again.

I did writing/editing, but it was of the non-fic sort as I edited someone's homework that I'm tutoring, but I guess it kept my brain working!

I seem to get in the mood for writing better if I play music -- and coffee doesn't hurt, either!
