So listen

[aschicca]

I just sent a message to piksa to tell her about this as I usually do when I have something to share that I can't tell anyone in my RL, but I have this need to tell more people and I know I've basically pulled a disappearing act around here but bear with me okay

You go, girl! 50,000 words is a big accomplishment and you have every right to be proud.

Sorry you're suffering with the heat, my Darling. I don't fare well in it, either, but at least we have air-conditioning in the house and cars. And, Autumn is just around the corner, so hang in there!

*smooches*

[aschicca]

Thank you! It's a first for me and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the word count :)

I can't wait for Autumn, I swear. Summer has never been my favorite season but lately it's become unbearable, and I do not have air conditioning in the house :(

*hugs you*

[aschicca]

Thank you!! You're right, it's wonderful when you only need to let it out of your mind and onto the page :)

That's wonderful and amazing!! You should be very proud of yourself!! I hope the heat cools off. I am guessing you don't have air conditioners. I hope you have fans at least!!

Thank you, Teresa :) I am still astounded, I'll tell you. I didn't even realize just how much I was writing until I finished and looked at the word count!

As for the heat, they say this week might be the last truly hot one and we could start breathing from next Monday, but I'll take it with a grain of salt since, lately, if it's not mid-September we're not free of the heat...

*hugs*

I'm so proud of you! 50,000 words is indeed a magnum opus.

I am sorry to tell you that I will not be reading it when you post. I have never read any Harry Potter! (I know. This is some sort of modern heresy, some obvious evasion of normalcy. But there you are.) I am proud of you and quite envious. I love editing, and you have hours of happy editing ahead of you. FanSee

Thank you so much! I'm still a bit shocked that I managed it :)

Don't worry about not being interested in reading the story! I admit, as of one year ago, I'd never read anything Harry Potter related, either. It was just after I finally read all the books (yep, hadn't even done that, yet, just watched the movies,) that I became curious about fanfic and started reading Sirius/Remus. It's a fandom one needs to navigate carefully because some of the ships you can find there can be quite disturbing (they were for me, at least,) but when you know how to search for stuff on AO3, there's a few gems to be found.

Anyway, long story short, it's not that out of the world not to read Harry Potter fics ;) And yes, looking forward to the editing, myself!

Wow- that’s a huge accomplishment! Congrats on writing so many words, very impressive! Sorry to hear about your long heat wave, I hope it ends soon. Have fun with your edits!

[aschicca]

Thank you so much! At least the heat brought something good with it this year :)

Things are a bit better already, though it's still quite hot. Should be gradually changing when September comes, but I doubt I'll be completely rid of it until at least the middle of next month. Ah well.

Hope you and your family are well :)
