Just doing it for the attention.

New words this week : 2,931 words which is somewhat less than I'd hoped for, but not entirely unexpected.

WIPs worked on this week : 2, with no new WIPs (yay!)

This week was... a lot. Visit went okay, they flew home Sunday night. This morning my mother-in-law called to let us know that my father-in-law just tested positive for Covid. So far so good here, but I'm pretty frustrated that I'm going to have this hanging over my head for the next week or so until I either get sick or I don't.

☆ food truck au : 2,349 words which brings the total to 67,708 words and is there really any feeling more frustrating than having all the motivation to write, and be entirely lacking the time?? Next chapter needs like another 1.5k to be done, and that's like. I could knock that out in a day under ideal circumstances, and circumstances so far have been very very far from ideal. But anyhow, there is now KISSING and I'm hoping to get it off to beta by the end of this week. I did some very rough math, and if I can continue at my current previous pace I will finish the final chapter by the end of March. The story takes place in the spring and I'm kind of caught up in the idea of posting it around that same time, so I hope I'm able to... I'd wanted to start posting mid-March, and I guess I could still do that even though I would definitely still have a few chapters left to write, but I really feel more comfortable waiting until I've got the whole thing done, even if "done" is just a first draft.

☆ werewolf au : 582 words which brings the total to 13,921 words and I was just reflecting earlier today that if I'd known how goddamn long food truck au was going to turn out to be, I would have started working on this one first. Ugh, I'm so desperate to write it, but I'm also really trying to avoid doing that thing where I start a dozen different things and don't actually finish any of them. My 300k of unfinished and unposted HP fic will absolutely haunt me until the end of time and I'm trying my best to not repeat that experience. SO. Mostly I'm just jotting down scene bits and plot ideas as they come to me so I don't lose them, and then using this as extra motivation to get me to finish the thing I am actually trying to finish.
