part of being a fic writer is your friend checking up on you on your day off bcs she knows you were planning to write all day and the interactions go 11am: "so you're finishing this one today?" "yeah" "how long is it supposed to be?" "i thought 5k but i'm at 5k now and it's only half way through." "why can't you just make it shorter?" "because then i'm not satisfied." "mhm." 7pm: "did you get it done?" "yeah." "word count?" "12k." "uh-huh. so you're done now?" "no now i'm rewriting a different fic." "there's another one?" "yeah the one that was supposed to be 7k but it got too long so i split it into 3 parts." "and you're rewriting it?" "yuh." "...why?" "not good enough." "...well you're your own problem then, arent you?" "you are not helping." "i'm not trying to."
