Word counts....Do they really matter? #writerslife #bloggersblast

Do word counts really matter? Ah, that divisive topic! For readers, depending on their/your favored genre, they/you may prefer 800,000 word monsters. Publishers will spout the same "blah blah random book should be this long", demands. Writers? Meh. You know what? I don't think we care all that much beyond if it the word count of a story meets a specific publisher's call.
