casualbirdi'm so excited for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fic_rush today and tomorrow! i hadn't even heard of it until the other day, but it really lines up with what i'm working on right now!
i'm writing a fic right now that is turning out to be way bigger than i ever expected it to be. the longest story i've ever written was maybe 4k words long, and that was for school, so i had a deadline. my wip is currently sitting around 8.8k words, so it's twice as long as anything i've ever finished before.
i think i'm actually over the hump with this one--not because i don't have much more to go, i'm definitely expecting it to blow past 20k, but because i already have the plot more or less figured out and plotting has always been very difficult for me. plus, in the past couple years i've been working on my creative writing degree, so i've been learning a lot craft-wise. i just need to put in the work to make this thing happen!
so, this weekend i'm going to work to get my fic over 10k words! then i'll really feel like i'm getting somewhere.
ps: if you're into fire emblem (awakening!) and are feeling charitable, let me yak about my fic to you!
