Y'all, I *doubled* my word count today. TODAY! *is still boggled*

13,100 / 20,000 (65.5%)

I'm going to bed now, and tomorrow...I'm going to finish the rough draft on the damn thing. *is determined*

Thank you SO MUCH to all of you who are cheering me on and wishing me luck. For those of you who're finished, yay! for y'all :) For those of you, like me, still desperately trying to finish... WE CAN DO IT.

I can't wait for all these stories to go live :)

4.5 hours left

15,500+ words.

And I've made myself cry -- while WRITING -- twice, now.

*goes back to writing*

drumroll, please...

20,238 / 20,000 (101.2%)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand my story was submitted with a whole 22 minutes to spare!

*dies*

*very determinedly doesn't think about all the editing yet to come*

Thank you, EVERYONE, for all the encouragement and cheering and co-panicking :) *snuggles* Y'all rock :)
