I have nearly written 4k today. I'm a little terrified that my trend for my current WIP is steering towards exclusively long chapters. Nine thousand words is a great read and a great write, but gooood, is it a mess to edit.

I keep saying it, but this damn this has me in a chokehold. It's just 

I am the tiny man being shaken like a rabbit caught by a dog
 
 
I'm incredibly happy this has more or less sustained itself into 20k words. Last time that happened, I didn't back everything up and my computer's SSD card crapped itself, so I lost all of the progress I made. It burned me having lost about 5k worth of unedited and unposted drabbles. So, friendly reminder to run backups at least weekly and in multiple places.

EDIT: JUST FINISHED THIS CHAPTER AT 8.5K WORDS. AAAAAAAAAAAAAH
