If You Need Me, I'll Be Seething
With Rage In The Other Room
Due to unexpected and unpleasant events from earlier this morning that were out of my control, and which I discovered after the fact, I have decided that tonight my new best friends are half a bottle of
Hakutsuru Sake, and one of my fics wherein many dark and bloody things happen to characters I don't particularly like. Anyone venturing into the nearby vicinity might want to be a little careful upon enterring; body parts will be airborne and plentiful.
On a related note, I now hold a newfound understanding of why angry people actually feel soothed when listening to angry music played/sung by angry bands. A very macabre form of catharsis, I admit, but it's carthartic nevertheless.
Today's Lesson: nothing drives your writing forward quite like channeling all the emotions that are dark and vexing. Not recommended on a daily basis, but it still is very effective.
