The Home Stretch

[przed]

I've been putting a concerted effort into finishing my Pros Big Bang story. (Yes, the one that was officially due a week ago. Fortunately, I've pulled the last posting date, at the end of October, so I've got a wee bit of time to go.)

I've been working on the climactic scene all week, and it has been like pulling teeth to write it. Like each word was a drop of blood dripped painfully onto the keyboard. Like I've completely forgotten how to write.

But last night I finally finished the last bit of that scene, and today I started into the denouement, and look at the result:



This is now officially the second longest story I've ever written. Which is funny, because when I started it I was worried I couldn't get more than 12,000 words out of the concept.

Two scenes and a bit to go, and I'm hoping it's starting to flow a bit better now. Maybe I'll even finish by the end of the weekend. Maybe. (Since we're doing an adoptive parent workshop tonight, and Ros is attending a playgroup for adopted kids tomorrow morning, and then there's the usual shopping, laundry, cleaning, meals, etc. to deal with, this is probably a false hope. But it could happen!)

In the meantime, the Big Bang is now live! sc_fossil posted the first story today, and it looks to be a cracking one.

My hat's off to you, for your persistence.

Oh, goodie! You sound like you've passed a hurdle and are on the way to the finish line. Cool.

Your word count is seriously impressive and so glad we are launched and off and running with the BB.

Wow - go you with the amazing word count!

\o/ yay wordcount! And yeah, you've got a canny bit of time yet *hugs* I'm only sad because I know I won't be able to read yours at once because I'll probably still be in hospital then - but it's an excellent thing to look forward too! *g* Knowing I've got this many thousand words of your work waiting will be fab *g*

My advice would be: abandon laundry, cleaning and shopping and live on takeaway, but I dare say when one has a child that becomes illegal or something *g* I have obviously never done this when busy, or at least, I managed to clean up again before Flatmate #1 got back from holiday... *g*
