I never worry too much about word counts. I would always write until I felt satisfied that I wrote something worthwhile. I think I had only one essay where the professor commented that it should have been longer.
Don't confine yourself to word counts. Write until you feel like you have finished it. I always felt that if I tried to make it longer, it would be extra drivle that was not needed.
My second piece of advice, make use of any bibliography you can get your hands on that is relavent to your topic. I can't tell you how much it helped me in my last couple years to find extremely obscure references and books you may not otherwise find.
