Reaching the Word Limit

Writing to fill a word limit can incentivize questionable practices. Here are some tips I've picked up to put the least amount of content in the greatest amount of words:

1. Start with a regular sentence:
"Micah had a piece of spam on toast for lunch."

2. Use lots of adjectives:
"Young Micah had a piece of salty oily spam on crunchy brown toast for a mid-afternoon lunch."

3. Add in adverbs, disregard grammar:
"Slightly young Micah had a piece of so salty so oily spam on very crunchy barely brown toast for a mid-afternoon lunch."

4. Extensively explain who's saying what at all times:
"'Slightly young Micah had a piece of so salty so oily spam on very crunchy barely brown toast for a mid-afternoon lunch,' happily wrote Micah on his so blue internet blog.

5. Repeat what has just been said:
"'Slightly young Micah had a piece of so salty so oily spam on very crunchy barely brown toast for a mid-afternoon lunch,' happily wrote Micah on his so blue internet blog, eagerly eating a piece of delicious so orange spam on some slightly toasted white bread on a white plate while typing on his laptop next to a plate that had such a piece of salty and a little bit spicy piece of spam on some toasted but not so buttered bread that he was eating while writing."

In the long term, this isn't effective, since the writer of sentence 5 isn't likely to be rehired. In the short term, who knows?
