Interesting about titles: I find I have a title before I even have an idea for a story and the rest follows on. For my BB story, I've had the title in my head for years (it was originally going to be a Mills and Boon novel but don't kick me for that!!) and I find that the title and some of that original plot are working very nicely for B&D. That said I've only got to the end of Chapter 3 (around 6000 words). And that's the other thing, how trustworthy is the word counter on Word. I read somewhere the other day that it counts anything with white space around it so a dash becomes a word, etc. Anyone know. Still it at least gives me some clue as to how I'm getting along.
