Um generally no. As I work from a main file that contains nothing separating a chapter other than
XXX guilded/murder# XXX
and a page break. It was chapter 4 I lost - not chapter 3. Chapter 3 had already been written... like a week ago. I write author's notes when I post... as those are my thoughts when posting, ergo it would be utterly illogical to spout off about things while writing it that happened weeks ago. Unless they were very important things. But basically - no. AN's and whatnot don't count towards a wordcount. Like... ever. That'd be sorta silly.
