• Wed, 18:00: I know my work here is done when I look at a story and go, "Yep. I am a terrible person. And I'm okay with that."
• Wed, 18:04: It's not often I get to do a character a favor AND STILL feel like a terrible person, but I just unlocked that achievement. Go, me, I guess.
• Thu, 11:36: And that, I think, is my final major editing pass. It still needs an actual good title.

The "Mean Streets" story is done, and subbed.

And, I think this is one of my most ambitious stories to date. It packs a lot into less than 4000 words, and I am very, very happy with it. Many thanks to my betas, without whom the story would not be nearly as good as I think it is.

I am super pleased with this one. It hits all the notes I wanted it to hit. It's the fourth story on my year, for 23,300 complete words so far. Not really quite where I wanted to be (last year I was at 42,500 complete words at this point, but last year I didn't get sick three times in the middle of my NaNo project--and that was four stories too, so hey), but not too shabby either.

...and now, on to the next.
