Yes, yes, and not really.

Happy, but not too happy.
Have you ever written anything based on an artwork you've seen?
Don't think so.
Are you concerned with spelling and grammar as you write?
Yes, but I often type too fast and miss something.
Ever write something entirely in chatspeak?
...no. I never even had conversations in chats in chatspeak.
Does music help you write?
Sometimes, but that may have just been my songfic phase >.<
Are people surprised and confused when they find out you write well?
Not that I know of
Quote something you've written.
The champagne high has fallen down/You're left to hang on the waiting ground/Life ain’t what it used to be/But it never was, you were just flying high on memory
-opening stanza of Fallen
