Aye - except that my job is to bring the word-count down, not up!
When I started, I had about 130,000 words on my hands (i.e. my DPhil thesis), and a lot of them weren't up to much. Now I have 117,000. What's left is much sharper, and more words are going every day. That magical target in this case is 100,000. I know I can get about another 10,000 out at the current rate fairly easily, probably by the end of next weekend. The final 7,000 are going to cost me some pain, though, I think. :(
And thanks for a very appropriate icon - that's exactly what I need to hear right now!
