Drafting for word count:
The current draft is very short.
"Mark Warren was a male director born in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, USA. He was born on September 24, 1938. He passed away on January 11, 1999, at the age of 60. In his professional career, Warren was known for his work in directing. He is credited with 16 known credits in the industry."
Word count: ~50 words.
Constraint Check: The user wants 180-260 words. However, the source material is extremely sparse.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 180 words without repeating myself or adding "fluff" that isn't a "verifiable fact."
Instructional Conflict: "Write a 180-260 word career overview... Use ONLY facts present above. Do not invent... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Analysis: If I follow the "Use ONLY facts" and "Do not invent" rules strictly, I cannot reach the word count because there aren't enough facts. If I follow the word count rule, I must invent/guess, which is explicitly forbidden.
Strategy: I will write as much as possible using the facts provided, attempting to expand the prose stylistically without adding new information, but I will likely fall short of 180 words because the source only contains about 7-8 distinct pieces of information.
Wait, let me re-read the source.
