8 722! Surprised even myself. I'm aiming higher and going for my entire novel, which according to my plan will be about 75 000 words. Then again, what I've written so far is almost twice as long as what I'd planned, so I've got some cutting ahead.
I just write poetry to throw my mean callous heartless exterior into sharp relief. I’m going to throw you off the ship anyway. — Vogon Captain (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy)
