Well, I've written a full chapter of the Charles/Erik medieval mystery AU, god help me, and it's just shy of 9k words so far. Because you know what's smart, when you haven't been writing fic for years, is to try to write some kind of novella-length epic.
I did sign up for a Big Bang challenge, just because I perform better with deadlines and peer pressure. But I'm doing that weird flailing-into-the-void thing that happens when you're working on a longer fic (and emphatically not posting as I go, because I have Learned My Lesson about that due to how it took me three years to finish that one fic). Writing is hard, guys. I feel like I used to be better at this.
...yeah, I'm just here to whinge about it, really. But also sort of celebrate? Because 9k words, and that's still 9k words more than I've written on anything else in like four years. So, progress, I guess.
