I did one of these for the blog when I returned home to the UK last summer after the long cycle to Brindisi along the Eurovelo 5. The blog words totalled about 30,000. Now they are in the process of being re-written and I have so far got to about 90,000… And this is the new ‘Wordle’. Another one beckons when I finish the book, hopefully later this month. I have another week of cycling to write about (I’m just about to set off for Rome) and the word count will probably be around 110,000 by the time I finish this draft. Then the editing / correcting / reviewing etc… starts in earnest.
