apocalypsosCurrent word count: 1100 words
Time until deadline: Nine days and sixteen hours.
The good thing is that I only just realized that May 1 is a Saturday. That gives me an extra twenty hours or so at the end just in case I can't manage to squeeze out the vast majority of words this weekend. (And when I say vast majority, I pretty much mean all of them. If I don't hit at least 15k by Sunday night, I think I may be screwed.)
That said, the good thing is that I don't think this is going to take me too much more than 20k to finish. I don't think this is going to be one of those instances where I hit 20k and I've still got, oh, 20k more to go. I think it'll be a little over 20k and then, DUNZO.
Oh, and I'm still doing the Ellen/Mary story, for the record. I ended up scrapping what I'd already written of it and starting over, and it seems to be working. I think completing it this weekend may just be a matter of painfully careful planning over the next two days. I doubt I'll get much writing done tonight with SPN (\o/) and Project Runway (*zzzzzzz*), but then again I've been doing a fair job of getting what's been written so far out while I'm watching something else. And I'm not even sure I'm going to pay much attention during the Project Runway finale, because if Seth Aaron doesn't win I'm going to be irritated as hell.
*crosses fingers*
