Okay, so maybe my number isn’t exactly ‘up’ (though for a moment there, last week, it did feel like it!) no, not in that sense but I do have a really, and I mean, really big number to share with you. It’s the accumulation of how many words I have written in the last two years. Though in truth, even that statement isn’t quite right.
It’s not all the words I’ve written in the last two years, but the accumulated number of words for all the short and full-length fiction I’ve written these last two years. A big number that doesn’t even account for all the words I write on a daily basis for blog posts, or in emails, or even, you know, in the occasional handwritten letter I write to friends and family, that truly old-fashioned means of communication that is now, sadly, a dying art.
No, this really big number is just for all my fictional words.
And just how many fictional words have I written, you may well ask?
654,894
In words (just because it sounds more impressive and because I have this underlying need to say the word ‘word’ one more time to annoy even me) thats: six hundred and fifty four thousand, eight hundred and ninety four words!
Care to top that, anyone?
[P.S. if I go back even further and count more words to works done prior to the last couple of years, I am almost sure I can top the million word mark!]
