It was just like "250 words over? Ohhhh dear". Y'know when something is funny just because it's daunting?

How long is it supposed to be? It it's the 500 word one then yikes!
It is indeed. 
This word count thing is utter bollocks. I don't understand, but then again I never went to Uni... or most of school...

Oh no!!! >_<
I suppose it's a better problem than not being able to think of anything to write - now you can just use the best bits. Still though, yikes

I use to go over too. But I think they allow you a certain percentage over and under your wordcount.
A trick is the look at each sentance and see if you can removed one word or combine two from each like can not becomes can't.
I have to keep my style in check though, Rubes. I can't use "can't" or "don't" or "shouldn't".
