Checking Word Count:
Current draft: ~85 words.
Target: 180-260 words.
Problem: The source material is extremely sparse. I cannot invent facts to reach the word count. I must stick to the facts provided. If I can't reach 180 words without inventing facts, I have a conflict between the "Use ONLY facts" instruction and the "180-260 word" instruction.
Re-evaluating the Source Material:
