Words words words

I wrote a complete first draft of a 3k fic today, I'm quite proud of myself. Needs some editing (and a title) but I'm mostly happy with it, which feels great. And once I've posted it I'll finally have more than 200k words on AO3! ...now that I've said that I bet it'll take me ages to come up with a title.

Whenever writing feels very hard I tell myself that it's not a matter of just lacking a magical spark of inspiration, it's about consistent effort and persistent work; and then days like this happen and I get reminded that inspiration is very very nice actually and I would love to have it more often.

Turns out I spoke too early! After editing the draft is now far from complete but already at 5.3k. It will be a much better story though, so it's worth it. (I just hope it doesn't keep growing and I'll be able to finish it in the not-too-distant future...)
