55 Words - June 9, 2011

This is my first try at the 55 Words Writing. So, please, be... patient. And thank you!

My 55 Words:

Okay, I need 55 words to say something. Don't want to mess this up! Nuts! I used a contraction. I think that's one word though. Hope so because I just used another one. Oh no - what about hyphenated words? Do they count as one or two? Better stick with the number 55 then till - oops!

To try one of your own, this is the man you need to see: Mr. KnowItAll.

    I'm smiling. So easy to be overthinking. ;_) My first one I counted the title...oops. Fortunately, I'm not too sure the Math Police are checking every entry for numerical correctness. Great 55.

    (PS Now I really cheat and use an online Word Counter--shhhhh...it's a secret.)

    Oh my...look at G-Man being all hard core and failing to acknowledge the humor. I don't worry about any of those things you bring up. I just let Microsoft Word do the counting.

    lol! This was fun! I remember when hedgewitch mentioned the title counting and I freaked because I never ever counted those :)

    Look forward to more of your 55s (contractions and hypenated words and all!~)

    I enjoyed this! I love how contractions can become two words if you're short.

    I think contractions are definitely one word... But not the end of the world either way!

    You've encapsulated what most of us have felt at one time or another when Friday rolls around (or Thursday night) and we have no 55 ready. Nice first 55!


    P.S. - I use MS Word's word count function to check my 55s.
