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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

It such an odd mood, especially the way it comes and goes. Most especially the way it seems to sneaks up on you. It does help to think positive, though. As does getting your mind onto focus on other things and staying away from what you know is a trigger for the mood. I'm starting to feel a lot better, now :D

"The main issue with the amnesia trope is that it has been done to death in the same way."

This is why I've been wanting to write amnesia fic, as there's so much potential there for viewing and writing the characters in a whole new light. I'm really looking forward to writing Sheppard, as I'll be writing him in a way that I've never really written him as, before - dark and dangerous. So it should be interesting :D

And thanks :D
