A Brief BB Word Count Post

I've been swamped with all the administrative things running the Big Bang entails, but I do want to keep the momentum going with my own story. So to that end, a wee word count post:



The words are coming, and I've got the bulk of it in solid outline form. Of course, my estimate of the final word count keeps going up. (Don't laugh, [livejournal.com profile] ancastar. I know you've been there.) I'm currently going with 25,000, but I think the final word count is likely to be closer to 30,000. We'll see. In any case, it's longer than anything I've written since I finished Exile, so that's positive at least.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:-D

Oh, I'm sorry. I don't think I was supposed to do that. I'm pretty sure I'm just hysterical in general, seeing as my current word count is just shy of 95,000 (I expect to go over that later tonight).

Good luck, baby! I know you can bring it home in far less wordy a fashion than me. I can't wait to read it.

I had a feeling that I might find you laughing in an hysterical and somewhat evil fashion in here. *g*

I'm hanging on by my fingernails, honey. By my fingernails...

*brings cabana boys by to give you a leg up* Erm... *sniggers* Really, you know what I mean. *g*

You can do it! *\o/*

I want you to know I'm mentioning those pompoms in my Master Post. Mark my words. :-)

I'd mention the cabana boys, but then everyone would just be jealous.

A well trained cabana boy's value is beyond rubies... particularly as I'm having to train your loaners to make Cosmo's instead of margaritas. *g*

Sidecars, baby. They are my favorite cocktail in all the world. ;-)

Oh bugger, I remembered it wrongly...

All right lads, gather around, forget the Cosmos, fetch the cognac...

They like a firm hand...

As illustrated by your icon.

You're not the only one with the hysterical laughter. Although...95,000 words?! Leapin' lizards! If I hit even half that, they'll be taking me away in a straight jacket.

The men with the funny jacket are knocking on my door as we speak. ;-)

Look at you go, burning up that word count. YAY!

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2010-07-08 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't YAY too soon. I may becoming to you for a plot consult soonish. (I've got a solid outline, except for two bits that read "Insert Bodie scene here." Arggghhhh.)

My plotting skills are always available to you, such as they are.

That is some freakin' word count, my dear!!!!!!

I'm so impressed.

And you and An, after this? I am going to force the pair of you to write nothing but 100 word drabbles for like, a solid week..

That sounds kind of like heaven. *g*
