firethesoundEverything is still really hard. I'm on day 4 of a migraine that I thought was gone, it abated with pretty fantastic timing just in time for a video chat last night, and then this morning it came roaring back. Looking at screens doesn't seem to make it any worse right now, as it sometimes does, so there's that at least.
New words this week : 2553 words and I guess that's not too awful considering I didn't get any writing done for half the week. But still well below the pace I need to be hitting to catch up from not making many words the last couple of weeks.
WIPs worked on this week : 1, with no new WIPs (yay!)

☆ HDBB : 2553 words which brings the total to 24,781 new words and I've just gone ahead and dropped out. I'm so so disappointed because getting to work with an artist on this was something I've really been looking forward to, now more than ever that my life has pretty much imploded. But what it's come down to is that to finish on time, I would either have to cut down on what I want to do to make it short enough to finish which would compromise the story I want to tell, or I would have to sacrifice literally every available second of free time (and probably quite a bit of sleep, too) in order to get it all written in time, which I've done before and makes for a shitty, stress-filled writing experience, and frankly right now the last thing I need in my life is more stress. So, my new goal is to get it finished and posted by the end of the year. Which, hey, at least means I get to talk about this thing in more detail now that I don't have to preserve anonymity, which I guess is a little bit of a silver lining.

Date: 2021-05-28 01:47 am (UTC)(I too ended up dropping out about a week ago. That 80% deadline date was just approaching way too fast. I too was really looking forward to the possibility of having art for one of my fics)
Interesting difference between the two of us: the more I talk about something, the less likely I will ever finish it. Seems my brain seems to thing that if its been talked about, that's the same as: its been written
Good luck can't wait to read the final product.
