Yeah, I hurt my hand typing. This happened before when I was doing the HP chapter discussions. I'm still gonna finish, though. :P

Ouch. You have my sympathies. Good luck with that. Not a problem I'm likely to have as I'm transcribing straight from brain to keyboard and I can't go nearly fast enough to hurt myself.

I guess as you're writing longhand and then typing it up you could always just finish that way, but it does make tallying the word count more of a nightmare than it needs to be.

Don't you have to put it in the validator on the web site to "win", though?

Not that I would consider counting words by hand, that would be nuts. But I have thought about forcing _hannelore to let me dictate to her.

I suppose you do. But "winning" is more about me knowing whether I've done it or not, rather than getting some website to rubberstamp it.

Mind you, I get three completely different wordcounts from Scrivener, MS Word and Googledocs. I don't know which one to believe, and they'll probably all disagree with the Nano validator. :-)

True of course. When I put mine in the validator it came up 10 words short of what Open Office said. If it keeps doing that I'd probably just add "And here are ten more words because this validator sucks." :)

I trust Scrivener the most of mine, because I've tested it and it's clever enough to see word--word as the two words it should be, not one or three, and it also doesn't include my line-of-three-asterisks-as-a-divider in the count at all. I fear I may have to do some heavy duty last minute reformatting to please the validator though!

^^ I already offered to do this for you, you know. :P

That "^^" was supposed to be to your comment to muridae_x, although in LJ it looks like anime eyes. o.O

Hee.

There's also the option of dictating it as a series of phone posts and letting the entire friends list go to town on it. Then it's just a matter of cutting and pasting the results...
