EMD613 Week 3 Project of the Week

I want to start out by saying, "I HATE WORD COUNTS ON ASSIGNMENTS !!!" I remember when I was in high school, I would struggle to find extra words so I could get to the word count that was needed for the assignment. Well this weeks project was the summary page and the word count needed to be 500-700 words. I got the summary page finished and submitted. I think it looks good but it was not as easy as I thought it was going to be. The problem for me was not getting 500 words but instead the problem was staying under 700 words. My first draft was over 1200 words. The 2nd draft was about 900 words and the final draft was still about 800 words. I really did not want to leave out any of the content in the final draft but I still needed to cut another 100 words. Finally want I had to do was take out all the extra little words and do some clean up and I got the word count down to where I needed it to be. The process was frustrating, I found myself reading the summary over and over again till I was so frustrated. I just could not find any shorter way to say what I needed to say. Now I face the same issue with the final presentation. It may be too long or it may be too short. This is why I really hate word counts on assignment.
