RE: 100-words story contest. This entry "Mind" This Episode: A Killer Mind.
I'm curious, I count 100 words. Are contractions counted as two words? Is the number 100 counted as One-hundred? Again two words? Just so I don't make that mistake again. Thanks.
Sorry for the tardiness - been busy! What I do is highlight the entire story in a Word document. At the bottom of the page it tells me how many words I have in that highlighted area - much easier! I am not trying to police anything and have no intent to be legalistic over 3 words!
Thank you for the response. I smile because I do count each word. I will concede that an auto-count will add the contraction as two words. I will make the adjustment in future writings.
Busy is the word for this week.
The app Word document is very helpful. Easy to work with.
