Ah, the things we research for our writing.

Dissociative Identity Disorder. Obviously, I'm going to need more than just this article, and I've got some notes from a panel at LTUE as well, but...yeah.

Because this is failure on a massive, massive scale, which possibly who am I fooling, definitely piled yet another trauma on poor Ben's head. Which is not what I intended to do when I set out to write this scene, but that's for sure what happened. In spades.

Oh, god. The fact that I think the only possible way he comes out of this in any way functional is by calving off another personality to deal with it...

I'd drop an f-bomb here, but even that word is not enough for the sheer amount of horror I'm feeling right now.

*headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk*

And please don't think I'm taking this lightly. I am so not. At all.

My original goal in writing this thing was 100,000 words.

I blew through that.

So I upped the goal to 125,000 words.

I have now blown through that.

I broke 130,000 words, plus a couple hundred, today.

Think I'll have the first draft done by 150,000? Shall we make a betting pool? I'm actually thinking 175,000 by the time it's said and done, because I've not done any villain scenes at all and Janni's part of this isn't even sketched out yet.

Brr. Argh.

I hate winter.

It's six degrees outside right now.

Yes, you read that right. Six. Not sixteen, or twenty-six. Six. And, you know what? It's still early. It's going to get colder.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate.
