Slow and steady wins the race …

 
Last night, after my duty day ended, I went back to my quarters, pulled out my notebook, and said to myself, Okay. Today’s the 1st, and RemixRedux won’t make its assignments until the 8th. That means I have a week to finish my current fic. If I only manage one page a day, that’s 2,800 words, which should be enough since I’m already on the last chapter.

And, thus reassured, I blasted out 2,200 words and finished the fic.

There will, of course, be several days of editing and proofing and minor rewrites. But I’m DONE, finished with my fortieth Buffyfic.
