Hey all, wondering if anyone has any advice for getting word count under control. My stories tend to sit around the 4000 word mark (hell, my current one spiralled out from a practice character sketch to a 10000 word short), which is all well and good, but not when you want to submit a piece to a 1000-2000 word market.
Anyone have any advice on planning or editing a piece to fit in such guidleines?
Bearing in mind, I wouldn't try to edit a 4000 word piece down to that, not unless I really hated half of what I had written.
