BB progress: 17,308 words.
It's a marathon to finish this thing, I feel like someone should be handing me drinks every few thousand words. I really need to get the first draft done and dusted today because this is really the last day I have to write. I'm not stressing *as much* about it because it finally sunk in that it *is* a first draft and it can be a little bit of a hot mess because I will have time to fix it.
What I wasn't expecting: To basically completely change the ending. The one bit I'd had firm in my mind was the ending for the whole writing of this and today, TODAY I change my mind about what I'm going to do. Not the penultimate final thing to happen but a really big element.
I walked down the road to get pepsi and something in my brain went sideways I think.
I think I'm just going to pause for a few minutes, read my flist and take a breathe before plunging back in.
ETA: AND DONE!!! Wow, I was really writing a 20k story because it's exactly 20,504... hahahaa! I'm assuming that will change with the many, MANY revisions it will need but jeebus, first draft is done.
