no quarter is done! and holy shit, i just realized that this makes it six months to the day.

( ...hey basia, did you start writing this fic on christmas day? )

( the journey (and everyone i dragged into hell with me) )

( brief detour: rvb17 )

( the actual writing part )

all in all: very satisfied with this fic. glad that it was this that pulled me back to rvb and that i got so much out of it.

EDIT: also tracked word count in gdocs vs. AO3 (per chapter) this time around! it was very interesting: gdocs has 51,630 words and AO3 has 51,765 words, and the word count discrepancy was all over the place. some chapters had a difference of about 10-15 words (and seemingly no pattern as to whether AO3 would be less or more than gdocs), and one chapter was about 90 words less in AO3 than gdocs. three chapters had the exact same word count. 🤷‍♂️ i can only guess this has something to do with how AO3 and gdocs each parse hyphenations.

wow, it's been a while. to get right into it, this post was sparked specifically because earlier today i drove a nice big loop around the area — incidentally, it was the same drive i referenced at the end of this post. truly mindblowing how life changes.

in any case, hi, i'm writing rvb longfic again (hi writing rvb longfic again), i have navel-gazey thoughts on writing itself.

( wuh oh how does markdown work again )

DW still feels like a nicer place to put Fic Thoughts than tungle, even though i'm using tungle regularly again. i should go back to putting fic thoughts here. :B
