Enigmatic, cc. to post 73:
I'm afraid you're wrong - so you'll have to score 2nd one too...
Each of my shorts is exactly 60 words long (based on MS Word count), title excluded (of course).
Cheerzz,
Mel

Numbers are included, Enigmatic.
I select all (body text) and MS word gives me 60 total.

Enigmatic1 Posted Aug 28, 2004
Mel, I counted them by hand and with the computer. It amounts to 62, seriously. I'd suggest going over it and getting rid of two words.

Mel J Posted Aug 28, 2004
Yep, I was basing the word count on the versions I saved on iMac, forgetting I'd made a few changes in the ones posted on GW.
Also, I was confused by the 'numbers' remark, as both in 'A taxing time' and 'The next stop' numbers are used.
Sorry! I think you'll find the corrected version to be 60 words.

Hi Sb,
No, won't be doing the 'Moon dancing' one after all as I prefer to finish the crits and post scoring instead.
Cheerzz,
Mel
