Shutting myself away until I finished helped, though, sad to say. It was the only way I was able to make up the 8000 words I ought not to have been behind on but holy crap look at that banner. It smells like hope. I thought the whole boat imagery was hot, you know. It's like all stuff about storms and traversing the sea of words and all, and like, my people, they were on a boat. *weeps*
I'm delirious. My hands haven't been this warm since that time I reached into the toaster to rescue my English Muffin from the hot hotness.
I love you guys, you kept me going, this badge is as much yours as it is mine.
And now I sleep. *falls over*
