Currently have 35,773 words. Jesus. Anyway, did well, even if for this bit of writing time I wonder if I went too far.

*applause* Excellent wordcount thus far.

went too far Yes, writing is cathartic and filled with self-discovery, some of which is jarring. At least, I've found it to be so. *gets thoughtful*

Thanks! I'm definitely feeling more encouraged. And yeah, definitely.

What would you say have been the biggest surprises that have turned up while you were writing, out of curiosity?

That's a good question. I'd have to say that I discovered about three years back that I treat writing fics as a job even though I don't get paid! That is to say, I work up an outline and push on till the story is completed. The outline is basically where I want the story to go and the character arcs involving each character's growth throughout the story; the outline gets added onto or filled out more, but not actually changed greatly. Sometimes I think I'm not cut out for 'hobbies' because I treat writing so seriously. Meh. I'm a professional copywriter and maybe it bleeds over into fun timez? I dunno ( ... )
