When you sit down to compose, what is your creative process? What are some examples of things that inspired any of your creations?

I rarely say, "Okay, it's time to write a song" and come up with something. Usually when I'm feeling a particular emotion strongly, (happiness, anger, stress, sadness, etc.)I force myself to grab a guitar and see what just flows. Those are usually the times one would least think of playing some music, but I know I play a little different when I'm going through one of those emotions.
