Q. But Belly! I am such an amazing writer that I HAVE to use lots and lots of words - my creative genius cannot be confined to such a tiny space!! Is there any way you can increase the word limit??
A. No, no, a thousand times no! Captions are short by nature (honestly, 75 words is too long, but I wanted to throw you guys a bone here). A truly amazing writer can speak volumes in few words.
Q. So um, just so we're all on the same page.. how are you going to count the words?
A. We will use this tool to count your words.
Q. I thought of some more captions - do I just edit my original post or what?
A. Please don't edit new entries into your old post -- just make a new post in the thread that contains the new entries. We don't have time to constantly check every old post in the thread for updates and don't want to miss any of your entries! <3
