Hm. I withdrew from house_bigbang because I realized my story didn't necessarily need to be 20,000 words long. Still haven't returned to that particular plot bunny, and I'm fine with it.

This is why I could probably never write for pay. I can crank out something that meets the guidelines of a given task, sure, but something that both meets the guidelines and my satisfaction? Not a chance. Sometimes I write fic in one sitting. Sometimes I add a paragraph or two, let it sit for a month or two, and slowly finish it as the mood strikes me. And I can't always tell what sort of process a given piece will require.

Amusingly, I've posted nearly 19,000 words of fic in January alone. I'd love to finish a WIP in time to make it 20,000, but I have to get to sleep and tomorrow's going to be a late day at work, so that's highly unlikely. Chances are, I've shot past the mark anyway, considering I only counted the collabs by dividing the wordcount in half, not including anything that was edited out in earlier drafts.

I've never been one to add up my wordcounts, but I did it on a whim and was sort of surprised. Keeping track of this could help me be more productive and less wishy-washy about getting writing done, in any form.

In conclusion, OMG I NEED TO SEE LAST NIGHT'S EP. Maybe over the weekend. Sigh.
