What they don't tell you about writing is that as you write, you discover scenes and entire plots that you hadn't accounted for that need to be written. So you can spend two hours writing and editing only to realise you're further away from the finish line than you thought you were when you started

“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be rude, Sister,” Julienne said, her fingers plucking at the edge of the blanket before she smoothed it over her lap. “But who exactly are you?”

The thing about Call the Midwife is that it’s an impossible show for choosing favorite characters. They are all family, and I care for them deeply.

Yes but...

So I've just posted the last chapter of my ONE HUNDREDTH Call the Midwife fic (terrifying but true).

Here are a couple more scary facts and a couple just for interest:

Total number of words - 659,288 (which equates to approximately 7.3 novels)

My first CtM fic was posted on 02/08/2014 and was A Careful Eye

The longest single fic is The Ground of Mercy

Unlocked received the most Kudos and More Than Human the most comments

The most recent fic is The Odd Couple - Part 1 and as the name suggests there's more to come!

Thank you so much to everyone who's popped in or been there for the whole journey - while I joke that I only write because I struggle to find the fic I want to read, it's you guys who help me justify the time and effort involved.

Special shout out to @linguini17 who not only beta's but cheerleads and coaches and occasionally pokes me with a sharp stick.

Julienne: a single mother of 27

Evangelina: the butch that runs nonnatus like the navy

Monica Joan: a Zoltar machine with dementia

Bernadette: maria von trapp

Mary Cynthia: the doormouse from alice in wonderland

Winifred: a kind of neuroticism only a teacher could possess

Ursula: me after failing one university exam

Jesu Emmanuel: the government (trying to greaten the burden of aforementioned single mother of 27)

Mildred: Miriam Margolyes

Frances: fighting her demons (lesbianism and autism spectrum disorder)

Hilda: retired baddie

Veronica: bastard woman who has hobbies

Catherine: daddy issues
