Oh! The horror! The horror!

shi_koiGod. I can't believe I'm almost there! --cries-- I had a few near misses, since I was ill for a few days and my words count didn't rise. At. All.
My fingers hurt. My wrists hurt. My ears hurt. My brain hurts.
I've had fun, and I've learnt something very important.
...Never try to write a sex scene when under a time limit. Ever. Seriously.
I mean, it might work for you (whoever you might be) but me? No way. It completely destroyed my muse for two days. I was forcing weird words out just to get the story moving on, and I ended up deviating from the plot outline.
Do you know, I'm only on chapter three? It seems like each chapter is roughly thirty pages long. I dread to think how much it'll end up pared down when I finally post it. --laughs-- I've actually got 22 chapters and an epilogue planned out.
Even though it's an OT6 fic, it seems to be a weird set of love triangles at the moment. --cringe--
I also seem to find it easier to write when I focus on Kame or Ueda. --shrug-- So at the moment they are the focus...mostly. It's pretty much even as far as interaction goes, but when the characters are alone, they're the ones I prefer to use to get the story moving again.
So, wish me luck! I'm on the last stretch!
Woohoo!
God, I'd better complete this.
