Day Thirty One - How to prove wordcounts for projects that aren't out yet...

A little quandry, some of the writing I'm doing is for commercial projects, and in at least two cases, totals 10,000 words, which is a reasonable chunk of what I need to do.  The problem is this, I don't want people to have to buy the items in question to see the words that I've done, but equally, I can't ask the people I'm doing the work for to give it away for nothing...

To this end, I will be getting a note for the wordcount on each project that I'm doing from the people I'm doing it for, this will be a form of credit note regarding the number of words that I've done for that person.  Those words will be independently verified by a number of people, so I need volunteers to check on those word counts, anyone can apply, just leave a note at the bottom of this mail.

Two chapters on the shift and a variety of words for one of the 10k projects done, but until they're completed, those words will make no difference (But it will be cheerful when I get them done...)
