Because I haven't flailed about this enough

[ratherastory]

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!

That's crazy! I must admit, I'm jealous!

I've been trying to write on my BB steadily since I started it about three weeks ago. I'm only at about 17000k. I think it will clock in around 30, so I should be okay, but I'm starting to panic! This weekend's goal is 6000 which would be a really good weekend for me. I can write more if I'm really in the groove, but the muse is fickle lately. I like my story, and I know the 'high-points,' it's those in between parts I can't stand cranking out.

No one likes writing the transition scenes. Transition scenes are both difficult to write and "not as interesting," from the point of view of the writer. :)

Don't be jealous. I tend to burn out on writing if I'm not careful. Churn out a gazillion words, and then stop producing for months. The feast-or-famine lifestyle isn't great. ;)

Congrats on doing so well on your BigBang!
