Weird Wednesday Jan 11: Word Count

When I finished the last chapter of my novella, The Final View, I did a word count. The result?

28,000.

Now that’s a fun experience. But then one of my beta readers spotted an error and now it’s 28 001.

That’s like trying to squeeze a bit more gas into the tank and having to pay $50.01. But wait. Why then are we willing to gamble at $49.99? Are you a gambler or a settler?
