General Analysis - How are you doing?: I'm almost at the minimum word count but my fic is nowhere near the end.
Tell us something about your piece: It is a compilation of scenes from different time periods and letters that inter-wind and affect each other. Kind of like the movie Cloud Atlas but fewer characters.

Something you love about your piece: It's interesting, I hope.
Something you don't love at all about your piece: I'm pretty intimidated by it, to be honest. Eek. Yipes. If I write this, it's going to be the longest fic I've ever written. And I am Not Good at writing long things.
