So damn tired of being so damn tired...

...and other things that I always roll my eyes at.

But it isn't even 8:00 and I feel like I could easily fall asleep.

I want to try and get a decent night's sleep, because I want to be awake to hang out with Taylor tomorrow night.

But I've also got a lot of fic to write, sobcry.

A little afraid that any words I do get will come out as mush, because I've been struggling with words all day, but we'll see! Hopefully I get a bit of a second wind and can keep going for a couple hours.

Later addition:

It's about 10:15, and I am wimping out, haha.

I think I'm gonna "cheat" on the Mermay fic... I'm going to make it a multi-chapter fic instead.

It's absolutely going to be over 5k... maybe more like 7k-8k-ish? That isn't so long that it *couldn't* be posted as a oneshot by any means. (There are writers who post oneshots that are near novel-length in their own right.)

But I also think the first 2500 words or so feel like a complete chapter. This way I can still post SOMETHING before the month is out, and give myself a wee bit more room to get the rest finished. It'll probably wind up being 3 chapters total.

Am I going to regret that as I struggle to finish it AND pick + write my Unconventional Courtship prompt AND prepare to start posting All Strange Wonders? YOU BET I AM.
