If I smoked
I’d need a cigarette. I just ended up submitting a fic at 11:59pm on the day it was due and my nerves are shot. It’s my own fault for procrastinating, but I really didn’t expect its final stages to take quite that long. MUCH THANKS TO LACIDIANA FOR BEING MY AWESOME BETA-ON-DEMAND. I think I ended up with something at least cohesive and interesting, I just hope I didn’t somehow disqualify myself by submitting it so freaking down-to-the-wire. I also hope I didn’t overlook something egregious. And that I followed directions when I submitted it.
But even if something did go wrong, and it can’t be entered, at least I wrote something. It’s something I can’t bear to look at for two months (until the contest is up), just in case I see a mistake I want to beat myself for, but I haven’t written anything of worth in so long that I’m glad I forced myself to do it, and with an idea that isn’t terrible. Confusing maybe, but not terrible.
Now I need to go relax, kick back with some Jon Stewart and maybe a little Dick Van Dyke, and definitely some cookie dough. I thank hulu.com for those first two, but I get credit for the last one.

I AM GLAD YOU GOT IT DONE but I am sorry it was so stressful. I hope I wasn’t a horrible distraction last night. ><

I’m my own worst distraction, trust me. XDDDD And like I said, if I felt like it would have helped, I could have taken the laptop to bed.
But yeah, I got it done without a moment to spare, having edited some bits of it, and I just hope they accept it now. :/
