In which I flail and panic about BigBang

[ratherastory]

I've already flailed in a really long-winded fashion at the lovely, patient, understanding folks who are doing BigBang with me, so this is more of a generalized, short-version flail.

1- I changed my mind about what I was going to write a couple of weeks ago. God.

2- I am PANICKING because the deadline is in five weeks and I've only got about 2,700 words written and OH GOD.

3- I think my new story might be too big to write. *headdesk*


Did I mention OHGODOHGODOHGOD. /o\


So since I have a decent amount of time to myself today, I am giving myself a wordcount goal for the end of the day of 5,000 words, so that I can at the very least feel as though I'm not falling into a black pit of writing-induced despair. There's a reason I usually only write things that are under 6,000 words. Gah!

Since wordcount meters have seen me through NaNoWriMo in the past, I figure I'll use one for this too, at least at the beginning. Once I have sufficient momentum going, the story itself should be enough to get me to the end.

2763 / 20000 words. 14% done!

I refuse to despair until April 30th.

You, uh...have close to the same amount written that I do. And my plot hasn't changed since I signed up months ago. *facepalm*

But anyway, wishing you the best of luck! Whatever you write is going to be awesome, and you're totally going to get through it AND make the deadline. *nods*

*hugs*

Thank you!

*waffles anxiously*

*goes back to writing*
