Parallax, mood, Aruba (-)
You'd think it would be *easier* to write a scene about impending doom when you're feeling a sense of impending doom.
But I have this weird inkling that this scene would be far easier to write if I were, for instance, staying at a Caribbean 5-star resort, rolling in $100 bills strewn across a four-poster bed, with Peg at my feet in a rubber catsuit, no dwindling job queue to worry about, a healthy rapprochement with my estranged sisters, and both my retinas free of sinister fatty deposits.
But hey, were would the romance be in that?
Oh, right. In the catsuit, the tropical resort, the restored sense of self-respect, and the large quantity of money. Huh.

@zebratron2084 hell no.
Counter example; You’d think I’d pour my anger, my crushing sadness, my horrible fear into drawings and excise it that way. Nope. I sit down and start drawing and, thank Epona, it’s a short relief instead. Instead of rage or fear I get dinosaurs and death knights and stuff.

(Counterpoint: If I were in Aruba, the weed would be illegal and the coffee would be of marginal quality. What the fuck do Dutch people know about coffee?! And now that I think of it, I probably wouldn't get much writing done if Peg had 12" inflatable tits pressed against me. So who am I, a humble Daoist comic writer, to say what is good and what is bad?)
