Invictus 19

[chthonya]

394 words. 394 measly little words. That's all that was keeping me from the end of Invictus 19 for the last few... years. But much to my relief, once I'd squeezed out some magical technobabble it flowed smoothly to the end

I write academic things, not fiction, but the process of having some seemingly little thing that stands in the way of finishing for a long time feels familiar. From this experience, for me anyway, the very process of stalling often carries something in it. I read a word in one writing guide I really liked: Percolation. Things sometimes need to percolate. That in the end they come out as 394 words does not necessarily mean that it is all that was keeping one from getting there.

And congratulations!!!

Well don't worry. I can easily write 100 words in a week. I work at a snail's pace.
