--When you’re writing an emotionally draining (or sexy, or sad, etc) scene, how do you get in the mood?

Music, music, music! I've got a variety of playlists for different kinds of writing, and some go-to artists for things like fight scenes to get the right feeling set up.

Sexy writing I really prefer a lot of privacy, as I am easily embarrassed. Since I have a semi-permanent houseguest now due to the lockdowns, that makes it difficult! I'm trying to get some other rhythms set up so I can get some space to myself now and then... (houseguest is lovely about giving personal space and steers clear of the second floor most of the time, I'm just super-shy!)

I hope your writing is going well! I've done some research and set up for what I want to do, and it's just a matter of setting my fingers to the keyboard at last...
