Because I haven't flailed about this enough

Okay, so I made the minimum wordcount goal for BigBang. The problem? The story is nowhere close to finished. *headdesk*

I have thirty days, including today, to finish this story. I have no idea, really, how long it's going to end up being, wordcount-wise, but realistically the best I'll be able to to manage by April 30th is the equivalent of NaNoWriMo, which is another 50K. So, arbitrarily, I am declaring this to be a 80K-word fic, just BECAUSE, and I'm updating the wordcount meter to reflect that.

24837 / 80000 words. 31% done!


If I end up finishing the story before I hit that wordcount, then praise be to all the higher powers and hallelujah!

Also, I have to shake my fist at ariadnes_string, because she prompted Dean with malaria over at hoodie_time and that's just NOT FAIR because I should be writing my BigBang and not getting all excited about writing post-apocalyptic mosquitoes. (That made sense in my head)

AUGH!

Wordcount goal for tomorrow morning is 30K, because tonight is night shift and (if it's quiet) it has to count for two days' worth of writing. AUGH!

Post Apocalyptic mosquitoes are the most awesome kind! You MUST write about them! I envy you so much a job during which you can write when it's not busy. Although when it IS busy, I imagine your job is quite nerve wracking. A dispatcher for law enforcement must have a pressure filled job. Your Big Bang will be awesome.

Yeah, the job is pretty crazy when it gets busy, so it makes up for when it's quiet, I guess.

I love my job, though. It's a pretty sweet deal. :)
