updated wordcount

Mood: avoiding work
Wordcount: 19,633
Sanity in tact: starting to slip

So I have known for awhile that the word processing program I have been using to write this fic has inflated the word count. It counts every carriage return (hitting enter to break up paragraphs) as a word. Don't ask me why. So I copied all the text into Works and came up with a more accurate count--19,633.

My count was 544 words off. WTF!!!!!!!!!!

That is such a slap in the face. Now I have 500 plus words to make up. ARGH! And I haven't wrote a word today. I'm too busy thinking about Thanksgiving and missing puzzle pieces (to the kids' puzzles) and buying new shoes for my oldest and yadda yadda.

I need a goal.

Write 544 words before dh gets home from work at 7pm tonight. That is my goal.

This is me laughing at my new goal.
