Maybe. Would you object?

I'm more creatively inclined (ugly as the phrase is) when in one of these extremes:
- immersed in solitude, with social contact an infrequent blessing
- overfed and under-exercised
- under the influence of someone else's particularly wonderful and well-wrought work.
- in the early stages of a challenging project with a close deadline (But, alas, not always on this last.)
