kriadydragon | Die, no one and nothing in particular, die!

I apparently seem to be in one of those "really needs to go outside and scream my lungs out" moods. Which, obviously, I dislike and find annoying, as there's not rhyme or reason to it. I'm not really angry, nor am I really angry at anything in particular. I'm sort of like nitroglycerin - fine one minute, then going off at the slightest (and dumbest) provocation (Seriously, why do people insist on playing the piano while other people are trying to sleep?) I don't act on it, of course. It's just the way I feel that's frustrating, and how easy it is to get agitated over nothing.

I blame it on stress, and the way my stress seems to have momentum. Saturday and Sunday were full of all kinds of screw-ups on my part, most especially Saturday, and one screw-up in particular really, really got to me (in that I was feeling guilty about it for two days). So the way I'm feeling now - the aftermath of it? Well, whatever it is, it's annoying, so I'm going to try to focus on the positive, now.

1. Finally got a long fic outlined. It's an amnesia fic, with, er... some slave!fic leanings. But please, please, please don't let that deter you from reading. I've always wanted to write an amnesia fic as I feel it a trope that's never really been deeply explored. That's not to say there aren't any good amnesia fic, but that good amnesia fic is rare. The slave portion of the story is only a drop in the ocean and set-up for the rest of the story. And no worries; there will be no emaciating of our poor Sheppard :D

2. Two people answered my Wing!Sheppard prompt in the

sgahcchallenges comment fic challenges. And both were delicious :D Just what I needed to help counter the way I'm feeling.

3. Book two of my original story is finally coming together.

4. I don't have a headache, which I also didn't help matters Saturday and Sunday.

5. I will now begin edits to the hard copy of my original fic, whether I like it or not.

I had a few of those days last week myself and it's so frustrating to feel that way when I'm normally energetic and (reasonably) cheerful. I've learned to get through those few bad days by hunkering down and taking care of myself - maybe even backing off doing anything complicated or needing a lot of concentration. Fiction gifts always help!

"I had a few of those days last week myself and it's so frustrating to feel that way when I'm normally energetic and (reasonably) cheerful."

Yes, exactly. I'm normally a very content and easy-going person, so it boggles me when I'm in a mood like this since there doesn't seem to be a reason for it.

Hunkering down, definitely. One thing that's a must when I'm in a mood like this is to avoid people - social interaction only makes matters worse. Finding a good fic to read helps (though there's a bit of a risk to it if I happen upon a story that isn't my cup of tea or does something I don't like, then it just makes matters worse), as does watching a favorite movie/show (preferably by myself).

Die, no one and nothing in particular, die!
