If only there were a meter to show the quality of the evolving paper, and not just the quantity of words it contains. Then I would be able to recognize when I was editing something into a worse version.

As others have noted, it's hard to estimate the word count of a revision. I expect I'll have created about 1000 new words, replaced or fiddled with another 500, and rearranged many existing sentences and paragraphs. But the finished product should be a submission of 5000 words, so that's the stated goal.
I am moseying out of my role of lurker and commenter so that I can be a full participant in InaDWriMo 2008.
