Status of the writer, Big Bang edition

[apocalypsos]

Current word count: 1500 words
Time until story is due: Nine days.

This is going to be the roughest rough draft to end all rough drafts. It's going to be a log with the bark still on on its way to the lumber factory.

But I've got the entire weekend from eight tomorrow night to ten Monday morning to write another, er, 13500 words. Or more, hopefully, all things considered. I bought Pepsi and Cheetos today, so I'll be all stocked up for writer food.

Oh, man, I am SUCH a glutton for punishment. I should just skip this writing thing and spend the entire weekend whacking myself in the face with an oar instead. I'll probably feel the same way when Monday rolls around either way. *sigh*

EDIT: Just out of curiosity, show of hands -- who's at the same level I'm at but still trying to finish in time for the deadline? It's always nice to know you're not the only nut.

Same as yours, if we're both talking about Big Bang. ;)

I can already tell I'm not sleeping a wink this weekend. I haven't gotten a story done for Big Bang since the first year and I want to get one done SO MUCH.
