WIP Update

[rodo]

I still don’t have a title for my long-ass WIP, but I’ve been steadily making progress, even through one of my three-day headaches and my brain inexplicably becoming obsessed with Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power even though it is not good. My progress right now:

Drafted chapters: 12/17 (meaning I’m through the middle part!)
Typed up chapters: 6½/17 (28,194 words)

So much for the good news. Unfortunately, I’ve reached the part of the writing process where I think everything I write sucks. It’s a normal part of the creative process for me, so I’m not too worried (and if it does suck, I still get a story aimed squarely at my tastes out of it), but I hate the feeling. Plus, I’ve already got five points that I’ll need to revisit and tinker with once I’m done typing up the whole fic. I hate editing. And I’ve not made any progress when it comes to finding a title.

Aaah I hate that part! I also hit the "wow, this really sucks" mental block around 75% of the way in for long projects and it is such a pain. Nothing to do but power through but blergh!! Best of luck with that phase!

For me, it's usually around the halfway point, until about 90%. And I will, thank you!
