*facepalms* I shouldn't have done that
So, 
tsukino_akume was poking me about working on my nano some more because she wanted more Stirring Winds 'verse. The poking led to me sending her some of it and deciding to read the last chapter I left it at.
...I really shouldn't have done that. Cause I just poked holes all over my nano. *facepalms* It's a big continuity fail, and omg I don't wanna throw it all out but fixing it is gonna require lots of edits and reworking scenes.
The Good News in all this is that minus finishing off of the last chapter (which it wasn't lacking much of being done), and either an epilogue or a little oneshot to cover one thing I want to do, Stirring Winds is pretty much finished. I have at least one major edit to work on in a previous chapter, and some of it still needs beta'd, but.
...Y'all, I've almost finished a story. (Granted it's only part one of a series, but. Little things.) This is big for me. I've failed to finish anything but oneshots and drabbles since I started writing back in '07. All of my chapter fics have either been abandoned or I've lost interest in them/left the fandom. ...Not that I have many in the first place, but that was because I already had 3 unfinished WIPs, I shouldn't make more unless I finished something. ...But then that never happened and I got stuck in the comfy place of oneshots and exchanges, because those at least, I could finish.
The bad news is that I need to do a complete reread of Stirring Winds, and hold off on posting the next chapter (--because it was set to go up in the next few days or so) until I work out how I'm going to fix the continuity errors. Then I'll have to work on a massive rewrite of my nano, and I dunno how I'm gonna do it, but I really want to submit it for FMABB, so. Yeah. That is the plan. Figure it out, fix the plotholes, finish Stirring Winds, then work out the nano.
I can do this.
I *should* have the week off of work next week. Hopefully I can make some of this happen. *crosses fingers*
