Word count + sleep-related rambling

ratbonesThe word count of the zombie AU is 47k (not counting later scenes I've written out of order) at this point, but slightly less than 44k of that has been posted, bringing my total word count on AO3 to...99,944. Yeah, I was 56 words away from hitting 100k today. Oh well, I'll get there next week. That was the plan, anyway. Chapter 7 just turned out longer than I expected.
I had a writing slowdown last week because work attacked, and also maybe because I was struggling with this chapter a bit, but I'm happy with how it turned out when I finally got it done. Zhao Yunlan is in fine form in this one. And now things are kind of set up to all fall down very neatly for the next several thousand words (hopefully), and I'm excited to get that stuff written.
Excited enough that I've been staying up late writing. I'm a night owl when I have a project, this is not new, but I've definitely gotten myself into a delayed sleep schedule once again, after having sort of fixed it for a few months. I wrote 5k words on Monday, between 6 PM and 1 AM. I don't really want to sacrifice one of the most productive and enjoyable hours of my day every day for sleeping, and I'm able to get up late-ish most days, but when I have to get up early I am a very grumpy bear. argh.
As I type this, there is a weird scraping noise coming from inside the wall just over my desk. Or maybe it's in the attic? Hope I don't die! (I'm fine, it's probably a mouse.)
