Big Bang Fic Status Report: FINAL TALLY

Okay, so I lied.  It wasn't just another 2,000 words.  That would have been too easy.

The final count was 59,189 words - almost 60K. 

I submitted it with seven minutes to spare. 

I'm going to bed now.  I feel like I've been flatted by a steamroller.  Somebody love me, please?

Yeah. I'm used to that, though. I just hadn't expected it to happen with THIS story.

*ded*

Sweetie, have you considered writing your own work? Anyone who can churn out 60,000 words in such a short time should consider novel writing.

But as Michael Stackpole said at GenCon years ago, be sure that your first novel is set in your *own* world. Selling a first novel is hard, but selling a first novel to someone for specifics is much harder.
