Thanks for your comments. :) I think that combination of being in a cranky mood and having a bad (but mostly hidden) temper certainly helped towards creating the anger Christa was feeling.
I'm so glad to hear you're thinking about doing some ficlets! You'll be surprised to hear that I recommend it very highly indeed. :P Writing these ficlets has been one of the best things I've done for my writing in some time. I studied writing at uni and it just sucked all the fun out of it. I know it's not all supposed to be fun, but it's hard to want to put that effort into writing if you can't remember why you like it so much in the first place. The ficlets reminded me of what I liked about writing and have renewed my love for the whole process.
The best thing about them is that there's no real expectation. Basically, you post the very thing you wrote in fifteen minutes, with no drafting beyond fixing any errors. It's rather liberating to remove that pressure to be perfect from your writing.
