Will not be disqualified based on word count

So, the draft is still a complete mess (the tenses don't even match. I mean, like, it's not always consistent within paragraphs let alone within scenes!), and there are several scenes only half written and some where I still haven't decided where they go, and a couple not even begun plus a whole other thread that I'm toying with trying to include, BUT, two nights ago, I broke 20,000 words!

*dances*

My longest posted fic to date is only 11,000 words, so even though I knew this story needed well over 20,000 words to tell it, I was nervous about my ability to get there.

Anyway, don't hate me. I write very slowly, and I'm absolutely still going to be working down to the wire. Plus, I started this story over a year ago, so 20,000 is actually pretty pathetic.

How is everyone else doing?

Thank you! But I assure you, I don't expect people to be other than wrapped up in their own panic. I know I sure am!

I hope you make it! I don't know what your writing pace is usually like, but I believe you can do it!
