I have... written a 6k short story in two days.

Utter delving into the writing craze, this time. It's for a private submission call that the Danish writing Discord I'm part of is doing for erotic original fiction. The theme is "transformative sex" and I'm writing a(n English-language) reimagining of the Lilith myth, with the concept being: "what if Lilith tried to screw God over by seducing and impregnating Virgin Mary, but ends up screwing herself over by falling in love with her instead".

Right now - I finished two hours ago - I hate every bit of it, but I enjoyed writing it a lot and I'm pretty sure there is some good stuff hiding under all the insecurities and difficulties I encountered, so. Tomorrow I will sit down and do a read-through and hopefully get an overview of what needs doing to polish it up good.

I have also decided, for the first time in my writing career - to cough up and pay a professional editor to go over this story for me! I have even found the person. I am extremely nervous about it, because I take concrit pretty poorly, but I think this story deserves it - and furthermore, I deserve to get better and learn what to work on more in my own writing.

So while I'm mentally pissing my pants about it, I am really excited at this prospect. Yay! But booo.
