That I Would Be Good
I finished something yesterday. Let's all pause to recognize what a feat that is, in and of itself.
Moreover, I finished something yesterday that I'd only started the night before. I've knocked out pieces in a tight window before - Requiem was one, the first chapter of Back To You, this year's Yuletide pinch hit for Community. But this is different somehow, that I had an all-encompassing compulsion bunny a few hours after I finished the source material, and a few hours after that I had a story. One that isn't slice-of-life fic, but a full-fledged story. I wrote through updates in the Chlollie comm and my DVR light signaling prime time and a fever that made me feel like crap, because the act of writing felt better. It felt like lightening in a bottle.
So I'm posting this, and then I'm going to try to do it again.
Wish me luck.

And I'm off!
