firethesoundNew words this week : 14,012 words which is frankly kind of unbelievable.
WIPs worked on this week : 1, with no new WIPs (yay!)
Where last we left off, there was some sort of horrible stomach bug circulating and I was praying I would not catch it. Alas, I did. It was horrible. I haven't fully recovered from it. The nice part though was I spent a lot of the time I wasn't sleeping, writing instead. So. Yay?

☆ food truck au : 14,012 words which brings the total to 100,271 words and I can't believe it's over 100k. When I posted my monthly goals I was pretty confident it wouldn't be much longer than 110k and considering I've got five chapters left that are partially-written, I think that's not going to happen. I have accepted that I actually have no fucking clue how long this fic will be. I am just along for the ride at this point. Anyhow. As you'll recall, Chapter 8 ran long so I split it in two, figuring that the first half would be the long one. Surprise, Chapter 9 is like 16k. So I think it needs to be split as well, except there's not really a good place to break it up, and if I do it in the least-bad place, the split is going to be like 9.5k / 5.5k which I don't like it feeling so unbalanced. idk, hopefully beta will have some feedback (she is so much wiser than I am)
