TOTAL WORD COUNT: 76,973
And the first draft is D-O-N-E, DONE. I ... don't entirely know how to describe what I'm feeling right now! It's a mix of a lot of different things, all sort of dropped in together and mashed about. Relief, that's normal. Elation's a bit odd, I'm not usually elated when I finish writing something; disappointment's more common. No disappointment! Instead, sadness - a great deal of sadness mixed in with everything. I suppose that's the difference between writing two thousand words and writing seventy-five thousand words. (? I've never written anything as long as this before so I've no idea if that's a thing that happens. Emotions!)
Anyway, I don't normally talk of how I feel when I write something as it almost always feel arrogant in some way, like I'm going OH YES I'M SUCH A GOOD WRITER THAT I MAKE MYSELF FEEL THINGS WITH MY OWN WRITING, but if you don't feel things when you write, then honestly, why are you writing? This was difficult, emotionally, to write and for a number of reasons, but I'm glad I wrote it. I've an awful lot of work still left to do wrt editing and rewriting what needs to be rewrit. But I'm glad.
Thank you all very much for all your support and encouragement. I'm sorry I haven't replied as promptly (or as reliably) to comments as I should have! I know that it probably looked as if I didn't really need to do the daily updates, what with how much I wrote most days, but having to be responsible to you and having to hold myself accountable - knowing each day that I had to make that post showing I'd written at least something - helped me out so much on so many days when I would have otherwise written very little. So, thank you. :)
And now, if you don't mind, I'm going to never write anything other than porn ever again.
(P.S. If anyone spots a Marvel Cinematic Universe Big Bang, you are under strict orders to let me know A.S.A.P.)
