VGR's "30 Days" Discussion

[GrooveMan.exe]

The article's really solid, but writing for a word count just happens to be something you need to work at, is all. In other contexts word counts might not matter, or are much longer (newspapers have much higher word counts for main features and the like). Under a different circumstance you might have had the option of serialising it, and going into fine detail about your topic.

But since a part of this is how well the submissions keep to the constraints set, that's why I was pushing for word count pretty hard; moreso than deadlines. Knowing that you have more to say, and that you have to sacrifice parts of that to adhere to regulations is a big part of formal writing, and actually something that even I'm still working on.
