LegioIX Oh, well! I wrote my story and it came to 7,999 (with title, but without disclaimer) and on editing, to 8,000! Not my usual length, but with more twists and turns.
Vela_Nanashi I do not count all the title, disclaimer etc into the story itself, and I got it to exactly 8000 words 🙂 If the title etc counts (I don’t think it counts) then I will just rename the story “Chara” and remove the non story first post.
DarkArchon1980 @LegioIX and @Vela_Nanashi thats a good point, thaks for bining it up. Disclaimers and intros, do NOT count against the word count.
Derick Well had fun with this one, did not use the entire word count, not even close but I’ve got to a place where I could end it. Thanks for the words, and nice to get writing again, have been out of it for a bit. https://theblackvan.com/d/1250-the-performance-story-content-entery
