So I'm caught up typing up what I wrote so far of the Zombie Apocalypse fic, and it totals just under 6K now. I've about a scene and a half left to write for part one, and then there's two more parts after that, though I'm not sure if those'll end up quite this long, but still.

(I just hope this damned thing is done by, oh, October, so I can have a bit of breathing space in which to panic about NaNo. Except it'd have to be done a lot sooner so I can rewrite and retool and have it beta'ed and AUGH!)

Also, I keep finding myself researching the weirdest shit for this damned story. Thank god for wikipedia.

What do you classify as 'weird shit,' dare I ask?

I know how you feel. When I get deadlines, I want to have the project done waaaaay early so I can relax and get edits without stressing. Meanwhile, my friends goof off, stress out, and then turn things in shoddy and/or late. I can't procrastinate with academic stuff. My mother swears I'm a changeling.

(P.S. When does one sign up for NaNo? I can never remember, and next year I might want to do it myself ...)

See, normally, I do my best work against deadlines -- I procastinate, but I always start working in time to be finished (just) in time and still do a good job. This is just a self-imposed deadline, really. :D
