– wait let’s make sure the sentence is complete and flows smoothly. Let’s finish the draft and double check the total count.
Let’s do a strict summation of the proposed word counts:
143 (Intro)
312 (Section 2)
356 (Section 3)
216 (Section 4)
312 (Section 5)
206 (Section 6)
182 (Section 7)
~150 (Section 8)
Total = 1877 words.
Wait! Let me re-read why the sum is so high. 143+312+356+216+312+206+182+150 = 1877? No, 143+312 = 455. 455+356 = 811. 811+216 = 1027. 1027+312 = 1339. 1339+206 = 1545. 1545+182 = 1727. 1727+150 = 1877.
Yes, that’s indeed around 1800 words. Let’s trim each paragraph slightly to get it closer to 1350 words, which is the perfect middle
