So.

Thirty thousand words later, I'm just hitting the beginning of the climax for my Fool's story.

This was supposed to be a shoooort story.

Hah!

At least I've got a title for it now: "Forgotten Fool".

writing, ramblings

How long is a short story, normally? o.o

Apparently 7.5k is the standard limit for short story publications--I thought more around 10k was okay, but maybe not.

25k is more like a novella.

Or rather 30k. :)

Wow, for some reason I keep thinking 7.5K is too small. Even 10K sounds a bit small but better. I guess I really have no concrete grasp of how long most things are. o.o ^_^;
