Deadline Reminder!

[twigged.livejournal.com]

I'm sure all you hardworking writers are very much aware that the deadline for rough draft big_bang_hd submissions is only 10 days away (that's January 1st), but we would be remiss if we didn't mention it anyway. ;)

When you're ready to submit, please e-mail a Word or Text document to us at bigbangchallenge@gmail.com. In your email it would also be helpful if you identified 4-6 scenes you would most like to see illustrated, both by description and page number. Final, beta'd drafts are still due February 1st!

Thanks, Happy Holidays, and Good Luck to everyone who's finishing up their entries!

I hate this, I hate this, I hate this.

Not the challenge. Oh, no. The challenge is going great; I've written more in the past week to catch up to where I ought to be than I've written in an entire semester of college courses -_-'''

No, the problem is the same problem I always have: I'm within 2,000 words of finishing. That's easy. I can do that in just over an hour...except I can't, because it's the last 2,000. I could crank out more than 15,000 words in a day and be pleased with every single one of them, but invariably when I get down to that last final stretch, I can't do it. I get restless, I need to pee, I'm thirsty. Anything to keep me from siting down and putting "The End" on whatever I'm writing. I'm the same way with really good fanfic that I'm reading, too. I refuse to close off that world, even if I've been there for two bloody months and am so close to the end I can taste it. I'll read until the last page or two is left on the scrollbar and I'll just...stop. I can't make myself go on, because when I open my laptop, there's Solitaire. There's e-mail, message boards, even other fanfiction--all excuses to keep myself from closing off that world forever.

.::groans::. Somebody kick my arse for me. It won't go any more.

But I refuse to stop. I refuse to quit after 48,000 words, over 20,000 of which were written in the past two days. I won't let myself give up!

Ahem. Well, it's sent. I'm not terribly fond of the epilogue (and the porn is weak) and I'll probably rewrite it, but it's done for now. I feel prouder of myself by miles than I should about writing fanfic that's longer than any other written work I've ever finished, and I'm so glad I'm done. It's off being beta'd by the loverly mackenzie1, and it's rougher than rough, but I'm hoping that with a month to polish it it will perhaps shine up into something nice enough. Now I'm off to bed to balance out my challenge-induced sleep deprivation!
