Yay, congrats! *\O/* I can totally relate to that word count feeling! ♥ About ten years ago I was firmly convinced that my limit for a story was about 5k, and only if the inspiration, pairing, writing time and moon phases were right or whatnot. Then various things happened, a combination of new fandom, different motivation, new people and new challenges and so on, and a year later I was doing and winning a full-scale NaNo and have evey year since, and more. But I never stopped being proud about any new writing benmark reached, word-count-wise or other, and I find it super cool that "writing" really works like training other muscle groups, in a way. *g* Go you for the next one, which likely will easily cross that threshold!
