megwritesI should've posted this yesterday, but between the LJ blackout because of the server move and my unexplained feeling of epic, crushing fatigue (most likely related to restarting my meds and screwing with hormones wot don't appreciate it), I didn't.
I reached the big 5-0. Well, 5-0k! So technically I've won. But I won't consider it done until the story itself is told, in full.
I think I can finish telling the tale I set out to tell in 10 days or less, but only if I go at an even faster click than usual.
It's been a bit of a dizzying experience to want my wordcount to go up rather than down while writing and to write as to milk the most words out of a thing instead of trimming it down to be as lean as possible. Especially after having to trim a 120k monster down to a fighting weight of 80k.
It feels like being told to eat fatty foods and gain weight must feel to someone who's used to having to constantly watch every calorie and lose, lose, lose. It's fun, but there's a suspicious part of me that really wonders if I'm actually allowed to eat cake, because cake is usually high-grade evil.
