Ok, on the revised time table where I'm ficcing a whole new fandom that I didn't even know existed before I got my Yuletide assignment, I was supposed to be done going through source material on Saturday. Instead I still have.... hmmm... 25% to 30% of it left to go. Yikes.
BUT the minimum word count is 1000 and I right now have 1064 words of (very unpolished) draft. Which is about half of the story I'm attempting to tell.
Woohoo!! I think I'm gonna make it!
Still have to write the other half. Edit everything. Wait a couple of days, re-read, edit again. Finish the source material just to make sure I'm not contradicting something that happens later (and because it's awesome & I'm in love with it). Re-read a few more times and tweak tiny little details. And, you know, post it. All in the next, wow, 14 days exactly.
But. This now feels possible.
*happy dance*
