@bloodwrites I did worse than that this time.
I had an idea a while back - two scenes that just wouldn't leave me . So I wrote about 14k works over the weekend - the beginning and then a time leap. It wanted to be a tragedy.
But I can't leave it a tragedy - I must have a happy ending. So I wrote more in between and now I struggle with the happy ending , how to get them there (it's almost 44k posted by now) . It has to feel natural , but it's not simple, so I struggle.
Booooo.
To make it worse, my brain comes up with all kinds of other ideas for other fics in the meantime - I posted a 4.5 k oneshot , a 45k fic, and started another WIP from a prompt all while I was supposed to write on that original WIP
