You may have noticed a certain... lack of posting from me as of late. Well, there's a reason for that.

As you can see, just a tiny reason.

I absolutely refuse to try and guess the ending word count (okay... hopefully under 70K... dang it, how does it keep growing?) The good news is I'm finally at the point where I do see a light at the end of the tunnel. Almost all the ducks are in a row, and it's just about time to start knocking them down for a hopefully big finale. Heck, it could even have a (tentative) title, meaning I might avoid that lengthy, soul draining angst fest at the end of the project.

This does assume I reach the end of the project and don't fall prey to the stress/angst trying to consume me in my professional life (which is my other reason for being quiet. I don't like to unload about those kinds of things).


The good news: I finally have my hotel stuff ironed out for Comic Con! Woohoo! Anyone on my f-list heading to sunny San Diego at the end of the month?

Y'know, at this rate you're going to beat me to the finish line *g* I saw your happy dance, and have meant to give you some pom-pom action... but my brain was absolute mush, I only got about 224 words done last night. You're doing fantastic, though! It's actually really heartening for me to see other people finishing/getting close to finishing.

I do plan on sleeping for a week though while my betas hopefully tear the rough draft to itty bitty shreds. Oh, and I guess writing that remix story at some point in time.

I have a suspicion that my word count might fall a bit short, but padding, I can do :)

From the other end, I'm thinking that might be the more fun/less frustrating way to doing it. Next big project I do... I'm going to think much smaller and cut their introspection to the quick. I have a feeling a lot is going to get edited down/out before the final draft is posted.
