So, I'm 1000% sure I've seen this on the forums somewhere and I looked for it but couldn't find it.
Word count where hyphenations are two words, and word count where they count as one... do we know which one they take? (It's sci-fi, so there's a deal-breaking number of hyphenations!)

Maybe steer on the side of caution and count em as two?

In the rules it says they do a word count in Microsoft Word and one on Google Docs and take the shorter count. Microsoft Word definitely counts hyphenated words as ONE (e.g., sci-fi is one word), so you should be safe. Hope this helps you free up some word count!

Haha! IMO, always the hardest part. I totally suck at endings. Good luck!

It's not going well here. 1,000 words in and it's just a mean, nasty little story so far, with no point or reason. However, I'm taking regular breaks and can probably manage a quick beta if anyone needs it. DM me.

I feel you Holdo...this is tough. The first two rounds I knew exactly what I wanted to do and say, and these prompts just did not spark anything. Maybe I’m dried out
