When I was younger and doing a lot of creative writing, I was prolific during periods of hypomania/mania. I was able to tap into my creativity best when I was elated or angry/enraged.
As I've gotten older and my moods are more stable I am not nearly as creative. I certainly miss the creativity, but I don't miss the erratic mood swings.
