Your daily dose of whine

I want to be finished with Fading Sun.

I always get this way in the end stages of a project, original or fanfic. It just seems huge and overwhelming, it always seems like there's more of it left to do than I want to do, there are other things I want to work on but I feel like I shouldn't until I finish the monster project that wouldn't die, I worry that the ending will suck ...

Right now it's clocking in at just about 70,000 words, and there are a couple of big important scenes yet to write. Maybe another 10,000 or so?

I really didn't plan this one to be another mega-fic! I was thinking 40K words tops. Ah, the best-laid plans...

I want to be done.
I want to be done.
I really, really want to be done.

You have my admiration both the amount you write and the length- I really have trouble writing (mainly the process of converting thoughts to text) and I definitely am bad about WIP, although I've promised myself to break the habit - next fic will be published when it is complete, especially given how unpredictable my schedule is.

Do you mind if I friend you?
