My word-adding idea for the day--include a character that babbles. Regardless of the genre, it always rapidly adds to my word count.
I was thinking outside of the box and decided it was Jimmy's turn:
His shoulders slumped. “Nothing yet, but I promise I’ll get to it as soon as I can. D wanted me to find him some statistics on massacres in Metropolis over the years--believe it or not, we’ve had our fair share. Of course, we’ve had our fair share of gangsters, too. Then Perry wanted me to do a background check into all of the recent murder victims. All of them. Do you know how many people have been shot recently? And then I ended up cleaning up this mess in here. Whoever bought the doughnuts this morning--it was probably Perry since they were here before I got here--they dumped the doughnuts right onto the counter. Normally that wouldn’t be a big deal but that new redhead who covers the religious pages and maybe some business articles too, although I can’t say for sure, is having a birthday and she promised to buy a couple of pizzas to celebrate. So I’ve ended up doing some cleanup so we don’t end up eating pepperoni and sprinkles pizza.”
By the way, want to be jealous or possibly inspired?
