40,600 words. Still not done.
Feb. 6th, 2009 07:49 pmArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh.
So, yesterday night at two a.m., when I was too tired to continue working on the thesis, but not tired enough yet to go to sleep, I started writing fic. And I made quite a bit of progress. Not in words, really - just under 100, I think, and those, as per usual, took two and a half hours to produce - but the fic I worked on (last changed/added to in November 2008) now feels like it knows where it's going. As it's not a very complex fic, this may mean that it's going to be done relatively soon... I think I'm going to focus on this fic now for a few weeks/months, just because I can feel I'm close to finishing it, and I'd like to shorten my 'To Write' list a bit.
On days like this I'm really glad I don't have proper internet access at my parents'. The lack of net-related procrastination doesn't make me work more efficiently on the stuff I *should* be working on, maybe, but it *does* turn my procrastinating far more... productive.
