here's the info
Novel: Generally any work of prose fiction over 45,000 words, ranging to about 150,000 words.

Novella/Novelette: Short novel averaging 7,000 - 40,000 words. These terms are often used somewhat interchangeably, although novellas tend to be longer, and novelettes shorter.

Short Story: Prose fiction of about 2,000 - 7,500 words.

Short Short: Prose fiction under 2,000 words.

Flash Fiction: (also known as sudden fiction or micro fiction) Prose fiction under 1000, 500, or even 99 words, depending on the market or guidelines.


so I am pleased to say that Wraiths is now a Novella, hurrah
while The Truths of Dagda is stilla short story
I see Dagda as going to maybe 25,000-30,000 words and staying a novella and same with Wraitsh thught the range on that one might be more of 35,000-44,999, just short of a novel

sorry I'm obsessing over this, my writing is just the only thing I'm good at really, in fact the best way I communicate is through written word. Typed page is almost my life, short of my friends who I would die for

... idead, why not write Four Corners of Disfunction to be about 10,000-15,000 and package them together as the Novellas of Hay or some other crappy title ... some kind of representation on Comic Reality, Divine Reality and Sadistic Reality intertwining, that would kinda make a novel, well at least it would be long enough to catch someone's eye and maybe I could get it published, just one copy for fun ....

fuck, I'm ranting again, I'll shut up and just think these things from now on
