Oh. My. God.

My Big Bang fic is finished.

Well, the first complete draft, anyway.

Final word count: 88,845

And can I just say that it's a good thing I went way over my projected word count each week, because I was allowing ten weeks to write it (and a month after for beta-reading and editing), writing around 7000 words a week and clearly I never would have made the final word count had I done so.

Now for the editing *shudder*

Oh my god! That's amazing. Fantastic! Incredible! I am very impressed. I am still less than 30K words, but I am very close to the end of my chapter three, and there are only 4 chapters. In my plan, I figured if I got 35K in a first draft, that I'd add the last 5K in editing. Going in at almost 90K would really freak me out.

See, now, that makes sense. I just started with no real idea where it was going. 90,000 words later, I still don't know :)
