Tick, tick, tick

rachg82I should still be in bed right now--instead I'm spamming you guys. Sorry about that. I went to bed at only one-something in the morning (that's early for me) and so it threw everything off. I'm sure anxiety issues didn't help either, but that's neither here nor there. Anyway, I just thought I'd put aside my own Stabby McKnifey issues with the holiday & wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day. I love all of you dearly, for what it's worth.
Also, a very Happy Birthday to my friend,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
melissasjack. ♥ I've baked a special virual chocolate cake for you, extra large so that a certain nekkid brown-eyed FBI agent can fit inside & jump out when you least expect it. (the nuts are complimentary)
Otherwise, I thought it was noteworthy to add that I think I'm officially ready to start another fic. I should probably feel more guilty that I'm not devoting more energy to looking for work, but Christ Almighty, I already feel bad about enough shit as it is. There are 24 hours in a day. I can write AND look for work. Doing one doesn't mean I can't try to find a way to do the other. There is a way to attempt flexibility (theoretically, at least. I've heard of this concept). Either way, anything to keep me going right now--and/or even lift my spirits--is good. I know writing can potentially do that, since it has before. I started an outline for my story tonight (y'all know how I do, heh. "Outline" to me = "a hot mess of crazycakes words written down in a jumble" to anyone else, but whatever. It makes sense to me--that's what matters) & a lot came out, so yeah. I'll probably start it later today. Much like with the last one, I'm not completely sure where it's going, but I do have very strong themes/ideas/images set in place & feelings that I want to make sure get conveyed (the chronological foundation is there as well--primarily, Brennan's adolescence). So, we'll see.
In the meantime, let's celebrate making it through a shitfest of a night & starting a new fic, eh?
I'll even give you guys a sneak-peek at four of the songs that I already know will have a place on the next soundtrack (aren't I nice?).
Technically, all four of these songs have had their place in the spotlight here before; however, I'm still mentioning them again now as, together, they worked to inspire my writerly mojo tonight, and because they definitely set the tone for my story as I get ready to head into it. Whether that tone will change? I can't say. We'll find out.
Like I said above, I know I *literally* just shared that last song earlier tonight, but again, the point remains. It belongs here.
