Ties That Bind Update

The next part of Ties That Bind will mark the first story in over a year that I didn't have "some of it" already written in my scrap file. When I first started posting the series I had "snippets" and scenes spread out all over my work folder for all the parts currently posted AND I had rough drafts of all the novellas through Under Pressure completed.

The next part, which I've been calling "Whatever It Takes" is different because it's ya know, plotted, but I don't have a single scene written for it. I know what I want to say in this particular novella in the series. And I know what I want to happen. I know how to get there-- it's just not written. It'll be an emotional fic -- heavy on the discussion because John made the leap in "In the Flames" and now McKay is playing catch up on the emotional front which means therapy.

Music is always a source of inspiration for me and I usually pick out a single song that carries the theme of whatever I'm writing. In this case (as with many stories in this series), the song has also inspired the title of the fic.
