(A/N: Chapter two is here! Hope you guys all liked chapter one! Review please! Same time period, same characters. Stuff, stuff, yup, yup. Anyways this chapter's mainly me writing down random nonsense that my mind has magically come up with between the time I wrote chapter one and this)
Disclaimer: Still, I don't own Shinji, Bleach, or a laptop (I'm currently still saving my money)
Claimer: I own Kurenai and what little of my sanity remains.
Chapter two-
[Liking a person TOO much]
"She needs her own space. She's playing mind games. Ends up at my place saying that she's changed."

Kurenai Urahara's POV.
It had been one week since then, and yes, I will admit it, the guys not half bad. I'm still not saying I'm in love though. He's amazing, funny, kind, charming, and- GHA! I've got my head in the clouds lately! I've been trying to focus but everytime I try to think about something else, his face pops up in my head, his yellow hair, his soft brown eyes, his CHESHIRE CAT GRIN! I'm hopeless…I can't stop thinking about him! I've been assigned a mission in the world of the living and I'm hoping that will take my mind of him…
"Oi, Captain!" Sai's voice shouted snapping me out of my daze.
"Uh? What is it?" I asked mumbling trying to remember where I was. Oh, right, office, paper work, stuff.
"You've been dazed out all day. We've got to finish this paper work before the mission." He told me handing me yet another stack. I stared around me and saw the piles of paper work around me. All around me where stacks of white papers, the stacks were never ending…they covered the floor and hid the walls!
"HOW DID I END UP WITH THIS MUCH PAPER WORK!" I shouted.
"Ya never do it." Shinji's voice popped up, I half wondered whether I imagined it, then I saw him. "The majority of the work ya hide under yer couch or make yer seated members do. Kurenai, you're lazy."
"I'd argue but I know I'd lose. So- Wait. What are you doin' here!" I shouted.
Not that you don't ENJOY him being here, we know you've been thinking about him ALL day.
That's not entirely true! I've only been thinking about him some of the day! And it's not my fault!
Ah, hai, hai. You know why you can't stop thinking about him your in luuuuuuuuuuu-
YOU SAY LOVE AND I'LL DROP YOU IN HUECO MUNDO!
"I'm here to help ya, what else?" He said.
"AWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" I shouted as I tackled Shinji in a hug. "I'd say I love you but then Awai and Kurai would taunt me to no end. So, Shinji I'm extremely grateful!" I shouted hugging him. Thank Kami! I don't know what I'd do without some sort of help…I can't stay focused on paper work!
"Okay, you get started, I'm gonna go dump some of it on my brother and I'll be right back!" I said to them as Sai and Shinji grabbed me and held me back into the room.
"No, knowing you when you say you'll be 'right back' you mean after you drop the paper work on your brother you'll go for a sake break, stare and chase butterflies for twenty minutes, pick flowers for another twenty minutes and frolic around the Seireitei until late when you'll come back and find that we've done all the work." Sai said harshly…has he been stalking me? I glared at them…
HAHAHA! THAT'S SO TRUE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO!
SHUT UP AWAI YOU'RE NOT HELPING!
"I don't stare at butterflies! And I've only ever chased them for fifteen minutes!" I retorted as Shinji laughed at me. I pouted as Sai grabbed a load of paper work and went off to drop it with Kisuke…Shinji started on the paper work, while I started on some, gave up half way through the stack, and noticed there was a funny looking shape on the ceiling! I stood up on my desk and, completely aware that Shinji was staring at me, began drawing on the ceiling.
"WHAT are ya doing?" He asked.
"See that stain on the ceiling there?" I asked him. He shook his head. I grabbed his arm and sat him down in my seat. "See it now?" I asked, he shook his head, as I moved his head at an angle. "Now?"
"Yup." He said, "It kind of…it kind of looks like a face! It looks like a familiar face…who's?"
"EXACTLY! It looks EXACTLY like Kisuke's face! So I'm drawing a mustache on it!" I told him as I stood back on the desk and used my pen to start drawing a swirlly sort of mustache on his face. After Shinji suggested I draw some glasses too, so I did, then I added a goatee and Shinji said I should make his ears bigger, I did and then I drew a funny hat on his head. We were in hysterics as I continued drawing. That's when the door slammed open revealing Ukitake and Kaien
"Nani? …what are you two doing?" Ukitake asked.
"Drawing on the ceiling…" I said innocently…
"…doushite?" Kaien asked, I grabbed his wrist and kicked Shinji out of the chair as I sat him down and showed him the Kisuke-Faced-Stain on the ceiling. "OI! It looks just like Kisuke!" He exclaimed.
"EXACTLY! So I thought I'd draw on him a little…" I said grinning.
"OI! ADD teeth!" Kaien shouted as I drew a pair of buck teeth on it.
"Kurenai! Is that…permanent marker?" Ukitake asked me slowly. I stared at the marker…che…
"Please, PLEASE tell me it isn't…" Shinji said.
"May~be." I said softly.
"BAKA!" Kaien shouted hitting me on the head.
"HEY! What the General doesn't know wont kill em, eh?" Shinji suggested. That's how the Kisuke-Face-Stain-On-The-Ceiling Problem began…we argued for a little more when Ukitake suggested we just paint over it…I argued that it was such a interesting looking stain it would be a tragedy if it went away…we finally got Ukitake and Kaien to agree not to tell the General, that's when Sai came in and we had to hold him down and swear him to secrecy too…it was all a big problem. But it worked out in the end!
"Kurenai, are you SURE you don't have ADHD?" Kaien asked.
"What the hell is ADHD?" I shouted. "IS THAT AN INSULT! DAMMIT KAIEN!"
Kaien raised his arms defensively as he shouted, "OI! DON'T HURT ME!" I laughed at him.
"Heheheh, you're pathetic." I laughed, "Ah…RUN KAIEN! RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!" I shouted as I shunpoed after him, as I used a kido to trip him and tackled him to the ground! I held a knife above his head as he shrieked, "GET OFF ME KURENAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI!" I laughed as I jumped on his back and grabbed a chunk of his wild hair, he screamed in pain. He jumped off and pressed himself to the wall. I approached him grinning sadistically. He whimpered. "K-Kurenai…S-S-S-Stay back…"
You two act just like brother and sister…
Haven't I told you guys? I DO consider Kaien like a brother, I can't torture Kisuke as much because Kisuke's not as easy to torture, but KAIEN on the other hand I can torture all I want without mercy!
Sometimes I think you're crueler than I am…
I finally just collapsed in a laughing fit. "Y-Y-Y-Y-YOU'RE SO PATHETIC!"
"Listen Kurenai, all we came here for is the paper work." Jushiro said as I handed him three stacks.
"Here, you can take those, and this! Oh, and I don't feel like doing these. And this stack you can just have Kaien do." "HEY!" "SHUDDUP!" In the end I just gave Joshiro five stacks…he sighed.
"You never do your work Kurenai…" He muttered as the two left leaving me and Shinji alone once more. Shinji was working on the paper work with Sai, I was TRYING to work on the paper work but I had a bit of trouble as I turned the colors blue…then pink…then purple…then yellow…they kept switching colors…
"KURENAI-TAICHO!" Sai shouted as I laughed at his expression. "FOCUS!"
I groaned, "I'm TRYING I just…it's hard to focus…" I pouted as Shinji looked over and grinned.
"Aw…Kurenai-chan can't help the fact she has a small attention span…" Shinji said mockingly to which I hit him on the head. Then we began a yelling match, that's when Sai left the room to go do his work some where else, quite…because apparently the office wasn't quiet enough…and without Sai to keep us both focused…we ended up playing a ball game…using the paper as crunched up balls.
"Okay! Go long!" I shouted as I threw the ball of paper across the office, he chased after it and caught it.
"That's one more point for me Kurenai!" He taunted as I glared at him.
"Not for long!" I retorted as I threw another ball of crunched up paper. I was standing on my desk once again, but this time my foot slipped on another piece of damn paper work as I began falling, suddenly with a THUMP I realized I hadn't fallen to the ground, I'd fallen on Shinji! Our faces were an inch apart as I turned away and hid my blush. "Who said paperwork couldn't kill you?" I muttered as we laughed. I was still on top of Shinji and it was a rather embarrassing sight and when the door slammed open for the seventh-or-so time today revealing, of all people, Kisuke…all things went to hell.
"IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!" I shouted immediately as Kisuke grinned. "WIPE THAT DAMN SMIRK OFF YOUR FACE RIGHT NOW OR I'LL SHOVE THIS PAPER DOWN YOUR THROAT AND THE REST OF THE STACK UP YOUR ASS! KISUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE!"
"If it's not what I THINK what is it?" He asked tauntingly.
"We got tired of paper work, crunched up some paper in balls and had a paper-snow-ball fight." I told him embarrassed at how immature this sounded, "I was standing on the desk and I tripped and fell on Shinji! THAT'S ALL!" I shouted as he nodded skeptically.
"Okay, now explain why there's drawing in permanent marker on the ceiling." He said, Shinji and I shared a glance, and burst out laughing. He stared at us waiting for an explanation…
"Well, there was this stain on the ceiling that looked like your face-" I began.
"So you drew on it?" Kisuke finished I nodded. He shook his head…that's when Hiyori entered…
"HAAAKEDAAAAAAAKE!" She shouted as she jumped on Shinji causing him to grunt in pain. I grinned, Hiyori had gotten back a day ago…and Shinji had been hiding with me to keep her from finding him. Everything was kind of nice right now, Hiyori was hitting Shinji as usual, Kisuke was annoying me as usual, Shinji was flirting with me, as usual…everything was fine right now. Right. "Kurenai-nee, I don't see how you ended up falling in love with some one as stupid as this tame!" She said.
"HOW MANY BLOODY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU PEOPLE! I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH HIM!" I shouted as Shinji grinned skeptically, an expression that further annoyed me. "SHINJI! DON'T TEST ME! I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH YOU! ALL I SAID WAS I'M HATING YOU A LITTLE LESS! AND I TAKE THAT BACK TOO!" I shouted, by now I could feel my face getting warmer, they were all grinning at me when Yoruichi entered, saw what was going on, and grinned just like the rest of them. At that point I shunpoed out of there, annoyed with them all…stupid people…
I'm not in love with him. I'm not in love with him. I'm not in love with him. I'm not. I'm not! I'M NOT!
You know, telling yourself that over and over doesn't make it true…
SHUT UP! IT'S TRUE IT'S TRUE! I CAN'T BE IN LOVE WITH HIM! I JUST CAN'T!
Why the hell not? You like him. He likes you. Why? Not?
I told you two! I DON'T LOVE HIM! I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH HIM!
I found myself laying in a field, I forgot where I had been going, now I was laying in the grass staring at the sky, I couldn't stop thinking about him, the way he made me feel, the way I cared for him…what did it all mean! How could it mean so much! How…why? I didn't get it! Hate was easy, I thought he annoyed me, but lately…everything's been changing…I'm just not sure what to feel…the rain came pouring down drenching me in the down fall…it was cold as it splattered against my face…
"Oi. Yer' going to catch a cold." Shinji's voice said as he draped his Haori over me…I looked up to see his grinning face, those soft and kind brown eyes…I hated to admit it…but…I really was falling for him. I realized this, got angry, jolted up and ended up smacking our two heads together…
"ITTTTTTTTTTTTAI!" We both hollered.
"I come out here to help ya, and all ya do is cause me more bodily harm…" He muttered.
I shrunk down, "Gomen…" I muttered clutching my legs closer to my chest, he laid the haori around me as he sat down next to me. The rain continued falling in buckets and I realized how cliché this was.
"C'mon, let's go back, you're gonna catch a cold." He muttered.
"No, I like the rain." I retorted stubbornly, he stood there then rolled his eyes, I soon found myself being lifted off the ground. "DAMMIT SHINJI LET ME GO!" I hollered struggling against his grasp. He just grinned as we got closer and closer to tenth division barracks. "DAMMIT! FINE HAVE IT YOUR WAY!" I shouted as I leaned over and bit his earlobe.
"DAMMIT KURENAI!" He shouted, but didn't let go.
"LET ME DOWN!" I shouted, "YOU KNOW I COULD PRESS CHARGES FOR THIS!"
"Can't press charges for something ya know ya enjoy, love." He retorted grinning…it was that grin that made me blush no matter how hard I willed my body to not blush. I buried my head in the crook of his arm.
YOU SO LIKE HIM! URUSAI! You make it pretty obvious… U!RU!SAI!
"Heh, we're here." He said as the door swung open, I took my head out of the crook of his arm and stared at the room as I rested my head on his shoulder…he was silent as he plopped down on the couch. It smelled like Shinji…and I will admit, I liked the smell, I'm not exactly sure how to describe it. It was the move lovely thing I'd ever smelt. It was a pleasant smell…and taking it in I rested my eyes, for just a bit…
Shinji Hirako's POV.
Imagine the most unpredictable person you know, then multiple it by a thousand, and you've got Kurenai, add a bit of reckless behavior, and violent tendencies…and that's Kurenai. But for me, she was so much more, she was the one who's always been there. The one I've always wanted to protect with my life. No matter what, that's what she was to me, the person who I could always rely on, the one I Wanted. The one I couldn't have…she was too damn stubborn. But lately, I'd been trying harder and harder to change that. Slowly, I would win her over, I knew I could…I had to…I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't…
She was breathing slowly and calmly against my chest, her expression was peaceful, it wasn't that defensive I've-Got-Something-To-Prove look that she often wore. This was the expression that was a small window into how she truly was. She said I knew everything about her, but it's not true, I've just picked things up along, in truth, she was a mystery to me…a mystery I was desperately trying to solve. As I stared at her now…I smiled down at her. She was so precious to me, yet she had no idea…
She nuzzled me and held me tighter as she curled into a ball holding onto my haori tightly…she was my everything now. Even then, I knew, I'd die to protect her…she was everything I'd ever wanted. She was beautiful strong, smart, (if not a bit stubborn) she wasn't perfect of course, she had her flaws, she could be extremely dense and took a small failure and maximized it in her heart. She cared deeply for her comrades, it was something I both respected and feared…because of the way the guilt killed her inside…
I planted a small kiss on her forehead and followed her lead into sleep…
Kurenai Urahara's POV.
I heard distant whispering, it wasn't loud, but I was a light sleeper. Small giggles, they sounded familiar…I took in a breath of air it smelled like…SHINJI? I jolted my eyes open and realized I was sleeping on Shinji, I looked to my right and saw my worst nightmare…Kisuke and Yoruichi.
"Why…you two look quite cuddly? What was it you were saying earlier? HOW MANY BLOODY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU PEOPLE! I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH HIM! Heheh, so much for that." Kisuke said laughing his ass off. I grabbed the nearest thing a threw it at him, unfortunately for Kisuke, the nearest thing was a book…he flew into the wall with a bang, but he was still laughing…I stood up on Shinji as I jumped from the couch and glared at Kisuke…to which he DID shut up…
"You don't have to hide it Kurenai, we all know you're in love with Shinji." Yoruichi said.
WHY DOES EVERY DAMN PERSON THINK I LIKE SHINJI! WHAT HAVE I DONE TO MAKE THEM THINK THAT? IS EVERYONE SUDDENLY ON CRACK OR SOMETHING!
It's pretty obvious! We've been telling you that this whole TIME Kurenai!
You know Awai, you're REALLY not helping…
"WOULD YOU TWO SHUT UP!" I shouted.
"Wh-What's goin' on?" Shinji asked drearily rubbing his head tiredly. Wow, he was a heavy sleeper…how did he manage to sleep through ALL of that? I sighed, Shinji was Shinji.
"Nothing." I muttered angrily, as I stormed over to Kisuke and Yoruichi and threw them out the office window…as they fell, all I could hear was them laughing…damn they annoyed me. Why were they even here? Why couldn't they just leave me alone? Those two were impossible!
"Okay then…" He said, I laughed and rolled my eyes.
"This has been one of the longest days of my life…" I muttered.
"Oh…that's right…" He muttered to himself, "You're going off on that mission tomorrow…"
"Yup…" I said, looking at him, he looked almost…sad? No, that wasn't the right word, maybe angry? I'm not sure, kind of like he was thinking about something…like…
Worried.Kurai and Awai said at the same time. No, he couldn't be.
No, why would he be worried? That's just stupid…I'm ME.
No offense or anything Kurenai, but you're not the most cautious person…or smart…or careful…or-
THANKS! Geez, you're just full of compliments today.
As much as I hate to say it, she's right…you're not. You're about as cautious as a three year old with a sword… Kurai said.
Wow, wow, THANKS. You two are SO friggen supportive.
"You can't be…worried?" I asked Shinji.
"Why not? You're not the most cautious person…" He muttered the last part.
"THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT AWAI SAID? Do you really think I'm-" I began.
"No, you just don't think when you rush into battle sometimes…" He said.
"So…you're calling me…reckless?" I asked. As all three of them simultaneously said yes. "Well! You all say it like it's a bad thing! You know, caution isn't always good! Using caution gives me time to think and when I think I end up getting distracted. SO technically, being reckless is a good thing!" They all sighed…
Kurenai, you're sense of logic barely qualifies as logic at this point.
"That's not going to stop me from being worried…" He said. I frowned…why was he worried?
"Why are you worried? So what, I'm reckless, I've lived past my twenties." I said, another sigh.
"Ya really are dense…" He murmured. "Kurenai, I worry about you because I-" No, NO! HE WAS GOING TO SAY IT! NO!
"NO!" I shouted, "People who worry are the ones who end up getting hurt in battle! You got hurt last time because you were worried! Don't be! Not about me. If I'm not worried, you shouldn't be! Worrying doesn't get you anywhere! Don't worry about me…I always survive in the end…" I said forcing a smile…he was silent as he stared at me with those brown eyes…
*sigh* "You're impossible!" He said in a long drawn out breath.
SEE! You're too stubborn! You don't want to believe that he really does-
Please Awai, just don't! I don't want to hear it now!
"I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky I could be hurtful I could be purple, I could be anything you like. Gotta be green, gotta be mean, gotta be everything more, why don't you like me? Why don't you like me? Why don't you walk out the door?" Shinji started singing, I arched an eyebrow (BTW: Grace Kelly By: Mika) Shinji was defiantly the type I expected to breakout in random song, but this was still unexpected…I stared at him for a few more minutes before I burst out laughing…he was still singing.
"Shinji, I'll admit it, you're not bad at singing." I said.
"Why thank ya." He said grinning… "I've always known I had calling."
"Yeah, a calling to shut up." I said as he frowned, pouting. "Aw, c'mon you know I was just kidding!"
"Maybe, but I won't forgive ya until ya kiss me." He said stubbornly turning his head the other way.
"C'MON! THAT'S DIRTY!" I shouted, he faced the other direction. "C'mon! You can't pout forever!" I sighed. "Shinji you're so immature! I'M NOT GOING TO KISS YOU TO GET YOU TO FORGIVE ME! CAN'T YOU BE NORMAL AND ACCEPT A SIMPLY APOLOGY?" I shouted…he shook his head. I glared at his back. "Two can play at that game!" I said, as I turned the other way…things were silent for about seven or so minutes until I groaned. "C'moooooooooooooooon Shinji! HONTO! (really!) Can't you please just accept my apology? Gomenasai! Gomen! Gomen! Gomen!" I whined.
"Iya…" He retorted.
"NO! STOP BEING A PUSSY!" I shouted.
"Not until I get my kiss." He said in a voice I could tell he was grinning…
AW! C'mon! It can't be half bad! You've kiss him before!
You know you want to!
YOU TWO SHUT UP!
"FINE! A peck! That's IT!" I shouted as he turned around grinning, I bit my lip, leaned over and kissed him, and damn did he kiss back. His lips moved to part as he moved his tongue skillfully against my lips as I parted he slipped his tongue in weaving it around, playing with my tongue as his soft lips followed my own. SHIT! I pulled back and shunpoed away…
Sugoi…NO! I'm such a baka! THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED!
You wanted it too, don't act like it didn't happen! You both care for eachother, he's just not in denial!
I AM NOT IN DENIAL! I DON'T Like him like that! I don't I don't! I can't!
Why not? What the hell's stopping you?
I had no answer to that question…I didn't have the answers to half my questions at this point. What now? Where do I go now? That was DEFINANTLY more than a kiss! Shit! Why did I let that happen? Why did I enjoy it? I can't avoid him forever, so what do I do now? Dammit…I hated myself…
Shinji Hirako's POV.
As she shunpoed off I sat there, what did I do now? What had I done? Dammit…Hiyori's right I'm a teme! Why did I do that? Now Kurenai was probably all pissed at me…she'd probably ignore me. I could see in her eyes that she loved me…I knew it, yet as she recoiled there was confusion. Why did I do that? I couldn't stop asking myself that single question. She wasn't ready for that! I was so in love with her…
TOO in love with her…dammit…I hate myself!
I didn't see her for the rest of the day, the next day she had already left leaving me to figure out what to do. I couldn't think! She was ALWAYS there somewhere in my mind. She never left me alone, and I loved her, I couldn't stop thinking about her. Dear Kami I hoped she was okay. If she died I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I knew she was strong, but…it didn't stop me from worrying about her…
"Hirako-taicho." my lieutenant, Aizen's voice said.
"Nani?"
"You're thinking about her aren't you?" He said, I shrugged. I didn't want to reveal anything to this guy, he was mysterious, I didn't trust him at all. He was always up to something… "She'll be fine, she's a captain after all." He said. Yeah right, she was a captain! *sigh* that meant nothing when it came to her. She cared about her subordinates, and I'm not saying that's a bad thing, it just makes her reckless.
It was one of the many things I loved about her, her loyalty and the fact she'd do anything to protect the one's she cared for. But it also made me more and more worried about her.
I got no sleep that night, not a wink.
The next day I woke up and found Kisuke knocking frantically on my door.
"Nani?" I muttered still semi-conscious.
"It's Kurenai!" he shouted, that woke me up immediately. "Her squad encountered a group of Vasto Lordes! WE'VE GOT TO GO!" He shouted, I threw on my uniform, grabbed Sakanade and ran to the senkaimon…
Please be okay Kurenai!
(A/N: Okay, ending on that anti-climactic yet, strangely dramatic note I'd like to tell you guys a little story. I know most authors have SOME sort of writing place or tool or something that makes them write better or focus. So I'd just like to tell you guys a little about MY writing experiences…)
This is basically how it goes…here's a story…but before you start, here's some background info on my mom (something you should know about my mom is it's never "oh, hi!" or "Hi! I'm home" or "Hey! Tonight's dinner is_" or "I got you something today" or "I have good news" it's never any of those simple things instead, it's "oh, hi! Did you do the dishes?" or "Hi! I'm home, could you vacuum?" or "Hey! Tonight's dinner is _ can you go out and take the trash out?" or "I got you something today! Now once you clean your room, sweep the floor, and finish your other chores you can have it" or "I have good news! But first go take the puppy on a walk!" Does that sound familiar to any of you?) ANYWAYS! On with my mini-story
"Hey mom!" I shouted from out computer room, I had heard the door open and immediately knew it was her, home from work.
"What are you doing? Are you too busy to come help me with groceries?" She called, so, inevitably, I went out, carried nearly all of the PCC branded bags of organic groceries in and went back to the kitchen (my mom's a complete health-nut, that's probably why I'm such a junkie [junk food eater, not drugs])
"So, what are you doing?" She asked me. Listen, I love my mom but she's one of those mom's who's just ALWAYS all up in your business. (if you're looking for me, my time is spent: 40% eating food, 10% in my room, 30% with my friends, 20% writing)
"Getting ready to write." I told her simply.
"'Getting Ready?' You have to 'get ready' to write?" She asked.
"Yes, I have a process." I told her slightly offended, maybe I'm just weird, but yes, I did have a process. It's a sort of ritual to motivate my brain to get off it's lazy ass and help me out.
My ritual consists of a few easy steps…
1.) Get a Dr. Pepper & Sprite out of the refrigerator
2.) Pop some popcorn, or eat a pizza, or get a bag of pretzels
2 ½.) Open another bag of candy from my stash
(You may be thinking: Geez, what a fatty. And yes, I will admit it, I've been fighting obesity on the inside for my whole life, but on the outside, I'm athletically built and have pretty damn nice abs)
3.) Get a pillow (because our computer seat is harder than my cousin's failed attempt at making fruit cake, I'm talking .5% fruit 80% rock and 1.5% everything else. My cousin is NOT gifted in the culinary arts I don't understand how someone with an IQ of over 200 can't bake a fruit cake)
4.) Get a warm blanket, preferably a snuggy (as stupid as those things are, they're amazingly soft and warm) I need the warmth due to the fact my mom HAD to put the computer in the coldest room of the house.
5.) Get writing
So, five easy steps, yes, it's my ritual, it may take awhile, but it's how I write. So, I've shared this with you because I'm wondering, whether I'm just weird or does EVERY writer have some sort of ritual or thing they do?
