Word Counts

[writerkit]

You ever have those days where you start writing something to submit to a flash fiction market, get a few sentences into it, realize what your concept is, and then go "Welp, this is going to be longer than the 750 words this market allots?"

(Which is fine; it's harder science fiction than I normally write and there are, I think, actually *more* places to submit that than my usual space opera and fantasy. I'm just amused/exasperated at my concept deciding it has a mind of its own.)

This is approximately what happens to everything I write. "I know, I'll set this large project aside to pop off a quick piece on this other topic, which I can do in a couple hours." Three days and 20k words later....

20k words in three days is an impressive pace!
