Big bang fic of doom

Oh fucking hell. Someone write the end of this for me please, before I go insane? There can't be more than 15,000 words to go. Maybe.

This is why it took me a year to write a novel.

*hugs*

I hope it doesn't try to beat you up too much.

I'm jealous. 15k to go?

I don't even want to think about how much more I've got to do (the main body of my fic, if you need a hint *g*)

Thanks. I think I've hit the point where I start thinking everything I've written is crap, and it doesn't have a plot, and I should go back and change this and that, and the character voices are wrong and... Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's just paranoia talking (it'd better be, 68,000 words in)!

Ouch. But you've got till mid-July, that's ages away yet :)

Oh, I just finished having that feeling for the fic I wrote for the [livejournal.com profile] literal_sga thingy. I was convinced it was awful and I had no plot and that it didn't make sense and that I'd have to delete it and start all over.
Thankfully I got knocked out of that *g* But it's one of the most horrible feelings in the world.

Just remember that it isn't bad. You're a fantasitc writer and even if there are problems, they are all fixable. After all, you have till mid-July *g*

You know, somehow that sounds a lot less reassuring now I'm hearing it than I did when I was saying it to you! Funny how that works.

On the other hand, there's a person on the check-in post who's only got 2000 words, so at least we're both further along than that. I guess.

Tis a strange phenomenon, isn't it? *G*

God, if I was at 2000 words I think I'd be having a breakdown about now. I just wouldn't be able to write that much in the amount of time left.

I did manage to write 3000 words that I kind of love over the weekend, so that's a plus.

Oh, and I got the beginning of the meat of my story planned in my head and the relief is quite huge.

You can do it! I totally have faith. I'm really looking forward to reading this.

I'm glad someone does :)

I'm thinking maybe two more weeks to finish it; possibly that's why I'm cursing it now, because it's so close to the end. And I just want to write about something else for a while!
