Sabotage!

So there I am, striving to make a battle scene worth reading. I'm certainly not in the mood, but there's hardly anything for me to skip to instead. I mean, the end of the battle is the End, so I can't skip to the scene I feel like doing. I've resorted to mood music. In short, that means I'm desperate. Not so desperate as to make me walk down and up the stairs though, so my mood music was the Pirates of the Carribean soundtrack instead of Lord of the Rings. So I'm at the computer, struggling with what I want to say, what Maric wants to say, and what Rehde will say whether he or I wants him to or not. I'm tussling with formations, with how Sferesh will charge, with how Kumei will answer, whether Kumei will answer in time to save the front rank, whether half the pikemen will be dead before the armies even meet, how in the world Maric is handling this, and how to work this all into the part of the battle I've already written, and my dad decides to sabotage me. He gets on his computer, picks the stickiest, most repetitive pop queen song that I haven't expressed complete dislike for, and blasts it on his compuker! It's been stuck in my head ever since. Grrrrr. He's not helping the stress of the scene. When it comes out flat and lecturish, I'm blaming him. Nyeah.
