I find that the best times that I can write is when I am calm, at peace, stress free, etc. However, this state only last so long. My life, just like everyone else, is filled with outside forces that may get in the way of our ideal writing environment. In times of sadness or nostalgia, I can write some of my best poetry. I am very reflective about life, love, family and friends.
When I am angry I cannot write at all. This emotion blocks any and all creativity I might have. Depending on what is causing me to be angry, determines how long I go without writing.
How do you manage to write through anger?

I write about the anger. If I'm angry at someone, I write them a nasty letter (which of course I delete later!). If I'm angry about some circumstance, I write it a letter, tell it off and let it know that I won't let it ruin my writing life.
I find that when I am angry, writing really helps me to clarify the situation and my feelings. I tend to write about anything significant that happens in my life, and anger is usually evidence of something dramatic happening.
It depends for me. Sometimes when I'm angry, the words just won't come out right, no matter what I'm trying to write. Other times, however, I'm at my best. I can write really dark horror pieces or even funny, light-hearted stories. I wish I could explain it--it'd be great to harness that every time instead of just occasionally.
That's the thing, I cannot even write about what I am angry at. I wish I could so that it will be out of my system, while at the same time, I won't feel bad that I am not writing.
I can't write through anger at all. Anger is one of my biggest weaknesses. I really have to guard against it!
Anger stifles my creativity too. I need to work through that emotion in a different way in order to return to my poetry with the right perspective.
