wordcount

@annathepiper Reworking goals feels so much like changing the goalposts. It’s not. It’s so not. Assessment time and debriefing projects is not passing judgement on self — it’s just us glamorizing some of our goals over others (like word count). New Month! New Goals! Writing is being done! Every word is closer to the celebration!

@chrisamoody I rely on the mechanical word count from my writing app of choice (#Ulysses), which would include, in the case of my latest project, the text of the chapters, plus chapter numbers and titles.

The official count is 69,574 words. When speaking about the length with publishers and agents, I round that amount and say, "about 69,000 words."
