Your daily dose of whine

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.

I know the feeling.

Hee.

I'm writing the infirmary scene. It's sort of wandering all over the place because I had no plan for it. I have an ending, but I can't write the ending because the stupid infirmary scene is in the way, stopping them from all being all healthy and awake and snarking. Sigh.

So...I know the feeling.

Also, mine was supposed to be short too. I think it's just the way we are.

*laughs* It's a disease! I wonder if there is a twelve-step program for this?
