[QUOTE="Gradine, post: 6710663, member: 57112"] This has certainly been interesting. Certainly the tightest adventure I've written for this format. Not a lot of room for world building or background information. Still, I was surprised at how much I could still do within the limit. I'm glad I was able to keep in as many stylistic touches as I was. I'll still be tinkering with it until later tonight though. I'm curious though if there is a specific site or tool you use for your word-counting, @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=67"]Rune[/URL][/U][/B][/I]. The top three hits for "word count" on Google gave my latest draft 746, 746, and 748 on the word count. GoogleDocs is also 748. Apache OpenOffice (which I'm using to write with) says 753. It's a bit disconcerting. Edit: New draft: 741/742/743/743/749. So basically, I asked the internet "Did I cut four or five words" and the internet's answer was "Yes." Thanks, internet :cool: [/QUOTE]
