fic talk: well, nevermind on the waiting, i guess

"i think i'll wait till next week to post," i said, like a lying liar who lies. nah!

today i read over what i wrote this week, and it's really solid. way more solid than i thought it was when i was writing it, honestly. it's hard to estimate the word count since i had a bunch of bits and pieces written beforehand, but i think i did about 7k words this week across two chapters, mostly; there are things i want to go back and add or flesh out in those last three chapters, but after closing up the last major gaps in the front half of the fic, i really am ready for this to go out and see the world. i think i'll post tomorrow evening, depending on how busy the rest of the day is, and if not, possibly sunday (though i'll have a long day of travel). doesn't really matter.

for now, i feel solid about the first five chapters, and the first three in particular; i know i'll pick at chapters 5 and 6 before posting, and i've got bullet points written out for several point in chapter 7 that i want to clean up or flesh out, and more of the same for 8 and 9. i've had a very clear vision for 10 for a while, and i'm feeling good about that one; no specific bullet-point notes there from today's pass, just a general edit.

man! i'm excited to start publishing this fic. i have a few friends whose reactions i'm really looking forward to.
