amberfocus | Don't like the Dentist

Well, I do like my dentist, but I don't like going to the dentist. Which is what I did today, well techinically yesterday, it's after midnight now. Needless to say my teeth still hurt and it has been making it very hard for me to concentrate on anything! And all I did was have a cleaning and a sealant put on. Nothing that ought to hurt an ordinary person, but of course, my gums and teeth, though pretty healthy have always been very sensitive. The dental assistant is always asking me if I'm okay because I grip the chair arms so darn hard my fingers turn white. I'm not afraid, it just hurts. Always end up with a tense neck and shoulders afterwards, though part of that might be from hanging upside down in that silly chair. I always feel like I'm going to slide right out onto the floor.

So I should be sleeping but ouch, even Motrin isn't touching this so far. I know in a day or two it'll be back to normal. I just wish it would hurry up. Chapter 6 of Hunger Moon is giving me a hard time. I'm trying to work on the Pete storyline but I'm wondering if I'm trying to force the chapter too soon. I think I may need to back track and pick up Rose and the Doctor in the Gallifrey room. I was going to skip it, as I wasn't sure I wanted to do a smut chapter so early in the story, but I think it may be what I should do, followed by the chapter with Davin and then smooth into Pete. Although I'm thinking maybe I should bring Mickey in to the Pete storyline much earlier than I'd intended. Because Mickey can suss out what's up with Pete, I think, a lot faster than anyone. In my head at least, Mickey is aware of something being off with Pete. We'll have to see. It won't be the first time I've written chapters out of order. Frustrating for those of you waiting for chapter six, I know, but hopefully I can think enough tomorrow to revamp and fix this so it works.

I've also been working on a story called Trouble Magnet. I'm not sure how that's going to play out. It's probably a one-shot. Probably AU. Not really sure how it's gelling. Just something to fiddle with when HM is being stupid.

Something major that has been bugging me for a while has been resolved. Yes, I'm that enigmatic. Just, it's taken care of, resolved in my favor and I'm happy with the outcome. And relieved.
