I was writing to meet a challenge and spent twice as long editing down a story to slide under the maximum word count as I had writing out the original idea.
Finally got it, with an extra word to spare, cut-and-pasted it, and the word count in that program said it was one word over the limit.
I've handwaved word counts ever since. I like my adjectives and I don't like counting to one hundred and I figure to hell with it. Call me a wild and willful woman.
