Word count
The short story is currently at 9,456 words.
Tonight at the cafe, I filled four large notebook pages, front and back.
When I type all that up, what will the word count be?
Let's find out!
ETA: 1,286. Actually, I would have written a bit more than that, as part of what I was doing was hacking up a previously-written scene, some parts of which got tossed. So, call it maybe 1,400 for the evening. Not too shabby.
ETA2: These are my two favorite sentences from tonight's work: "Although she and Kerry were identical twins, Elsa had always thought Kerry was far prettier. If nothing else, while Elsa had gotten Kerry’s share of magic, it seemed that Kerry had received Elsa’s share of bosom." and "And they talked, talked about everything and nothing, one of those endless spools of effortless words passed back and forth, so vital, so important at the time, and so impossible to reconstruct afterwards."
