#and I'm like yeah that's probably a pretty flexible metric bc terrible writers get published all the time

[horrendoushag]

painstakingly digging through all my google docs to find out how many words of story I’ve written ever (both original and fic) and the answer is about 460,000, which is over 100k more than I had estimated :)

#now i should finish my in-progress fics and spend more time on my main original story to get to 500k ^-^ #thinkin about that guy who said u have to write like a million words to get published #and I'm like yeah that's probably a pretty flexible metric bc terrible writers get published all the time #and some people really are just more talented at writing than the rest of us #BUT by this standard how close am i to getting published haha just curious :)))) #i actually do think i need a few 100k more before i'm worthy tho
