Inside my head lies a jewelled world.
This is my first Six-Word Saturday and I hope it’s OK for me not to count the ‘a’ as a word, as I was taught many years ago. I know many rules have changed since my early days and possibly that is also one.
This photograph was taken about ten years ago when I was in Austria and visited the Swarovski factory, a veritable fairyland of crystal figures and jewelry. The result of so much overpowering bling was that I didn’t buy even a tiny piece. I really coveted a huge crystal tiger that cost many thousands of pounds but as I couldn’t have that I decided to have nothing!
The interior is amazing but this exterior exceeds it: this is the most impressive entrance I have ever seen.
NB In case anyone thinks I’ve discovered the Elixir of Life, that is not me in the photograph.
MARI'S TRAVELS WITH HER CAMERA 
Quite bizarre! I too remember not including articles, definite or indefinite, in word counts for essays. How on earth did I do it – did I really count up to 3000 missing out a and the? Surely not, it must have been a rough estimate. Thank goodness for Word.

Gotta love you, Mari. And I purposely left cake out of my six this week, but I can’t guarantee the same for tomorrow. 🙂 🙂

The indefinite article “a(n)” is most certainly a word and always has been. I cannot imagine any responsible person claiming otherwise.
Not that it matters since “Six-word Saturday” could just as easily been “Seven-word Saturday” and what counts is the memory you have of the occasion and that you have described it here and brought it alive for your readers.
