Ahh, thank you LQT! This took me by surprise, because I was honestly feeling quite confident about the word count, and then this happened, and it was as if someone had pulled away the curtain and shown me my pathetic, puny plot lying in a heap on the floor, like Voldemort at Kings Cross or something!
I wrote 52k and then 44 or 48 or something for Erised, and so I'm all confident like, 'Hey this happens easily by accident; let's take this pro!' HAHA exactly!
I love your advice about not holding back during a scene, but you know, I don't think I've ever been one for effiency and brevity. I think I generally let myself blather on as much as I like... Well, unless I'm bored, or about to hear the sound of another deadline whooshing past me.
And your last paragraph has made me panic in case my fic goes SUPER LONG. Oh god! Why do we do this to ourselves? ;-)
