I’m a Maniac, Maniac in Word

And I’m cutting words like I’ve never cut them before!


I’m so incredibly excited that I’m on the verge of putting on that song from Flashdance really loud and dancing around the house to it.


Do you know how, at least on a Mac, your Word document’s word count appears at the bottom of the window? Do you know how after you’ve surpassed 100,000 words, that word count just ups and disappears?


Well, mine came back!

Hello old friend!


Now when I send out my query letters, I can say that my word count is approx. 99,000 and it won’t even be like I’m rounding down from 99,999 (Not that I would ever really do that...*shifty eye, shifty eye*). It is honestly and truly well under 100,000. Mischief Managed! I think I deserve a cookie.


You know what? I’m buying myself a box of cookies.


Or maybe a bunch of cupcakes eating a bunch of cookies...

  1. That's awesome, Cacy! Oh, and wordcount shows up all the time on PC in Word 2007, even if you go past 99,999. Rather handy. ;)

    Love the cupcakes, by the way. They make me hungry.
