I’ve delivered simple, clear and easy-to-use services for 20 years, for startups, scaleups and government. I write about the nerdy bits here.

Extension “Short” story

Hmm.  I just printed out cover pages, two drafts, the final copy, and a compositional reflection thingamajig, and it came to 22 pages total.

Doo bee doo.

So much for 1000 words… *cough*.

Yes, of course my final limit is within the 1100 mark!!  I wouldn’t dream of violating that!  I wouldn’t be so irresponsible as to write 1500ish words even on the final edit.

I shall say no more.  ;)

The final copy shall be posted online after I return home tomorrow afternoon, as without a doubt, there will be many people still working on it tonight and tomorrow morning, and making their life easier would be boring.  Or something.  Plagurism sucks, hehe.

I suppose they *did* ask it be double spaced, so that unneccessarily contributed some significant bloat to the final document, but still… 22 pages for ~1500 words seems ridiculous.  Meh!
