Five for Five... or Five for Three... or whatever

[machshefa]

So, if I delete like... 200 words, and add another 200 words (more or less)... have I just run in place, or am I 200 words towards my goal?

*whimpers

They were bad, doopid words, honest.  They didn't belong there and the story is much better off without them. Yes, indeed.

Well, it's writing, right?  That's the goal. :)

I'm about 2000 words into Chapter 6 of King of Swords.  My hope is to post a chapter by the end of the weekend... *fingers crossed

You're 200 words toward your goal, because the bad words needed to be tossed so as not to contaminate the rest of the story (or your mind).

Good luck!

I believe you can consider it good editing and just keep writing!

&HUGS& good luck

at least you *are* writing :)

I say count whatever makes you feel like you've made progress--and if it helps to delete 200 words TOMORROW, then so be it! The idea is to keep you doing it every day, yes?

*hugs you*
*hugs your minions*

I think words edited out should count towards 5_for_5 word count. They are still words, and goodness knows editing is bloody hard. So call it 400 words worth of effort and thought. *hugs*

Yup. They count. Especially if them counting keeps you from pulling your hair out. :)
