why is it that when i aim for a wordcount i always end up going off in a slightly different direction than planned and end up exceeding it?

#forget-me-nots was meant to be 5k and wound up being 25k #a chapter of one of my wips was also meant to be 5k and ended up at 12k #marigolds was also meant to be around 5k and is currently at 6454 words and they are nowhere near safe yet #i don't mind going over it #but when i have multiple projects going on it can make me want to scream slightly #anyway #back to torturing gwaine #merlin #bbc merlin #merlin fanfic #lit writes #lit talks #writing
