I have sort of a silly question, but I can't seem to find the answer... when you write chapters, and write the words 'Chapter One' or 'Chapter Two', are those words part of your word count, or seperate from it? What if you have chapter titles?

Thanks to anyone who can tell me :)

If you wrote them and they're words, they count (my opinion).

yup, they are words you wrote in November, so they count. :) Good luck!

The official answer is yes. :)

Chapter titles also count.

Wow, I had just put a 1 and 2. Maybe I should go back and make them more words and make life a few words easier on myself :)

I always considered all words written on the document to be counted in the word count...

And I always spell out any numbers I use... :-D

Wow, this isn't a silly question [livejournal.com profile] ravissant_rouge, because I just came here to post this very question! Ha! Now that I feel justified in counting "ONE," I'm at 1615. =)

Using your character's full names is a good word padder too. :)

I add them, as well as Location/Dates (the equivalent of chapter titles in my book.)

I count them.

I definitely count them. 12 planned chapters = 24 extra words, and that's okay with me!
