Onward and...Painful

I am writing with other NaNoWriMo folks right now.  With less than 20% of my words left to write, I'm excited to reach my goal this week (I have until Monday!).

Today, I wrote the most gut wrenching scene I have ever written, involving one of my main characters finding out her parents were killed.  Listening to "The Poet Acts" from the soundtrack/score of the movie The Hours really helped get into the mood (if you've watched the movie, I'm sure you can guess the scene I'm talking about) - not in a bad way, just getting the emotions going.  I almost cried.  Is there such thing as a 'method-writer'?  I know there's a 'method-actor' but this may translate to writing as well...
