How do I get mself into these messes?

I am such a one-shot offender. I never write long fics and here I find myself like 60% through this big bang and my brain has turned to mush and I have to wonder if it's even going to be worth it. (Define "worth it?" I don't even know!) I feel like I would get just as much satisfaction from writing a shorter fic, so why bother? I don't know. I will probably feel differently once I've filled in all the holes. And the sad part is that this is not even as long as some fics I've seen. Only 10,000 words!

I am not really sure what the longest completed fic I've ever written was. I want to say something like 6,000 words and it was a Jack/Claire fic but I would have to go back and check. And it was completely unintentional and very deviant from the canon storyline so I had a lot of setting up and exposition to do. (As opposed to everything else I write which is oh-so-totally-canon, right? Hahahaha.)
