RE: How Many Words Is A Short Story Or Flash Fiction: The Differnt Word Counts Of A Story

in #writing6 years ago

It's nice to know that stories can be classified into different type of categories just based on word count.

I struggle so much just to get started writing fiction or even non-fiction but I think the trick here is to write as short as possible.

Then as I get more confident where I want to extend the story then it will go into these phases that are identified here.

From drabble to flash to short story to novelette to novella and finally a novel.

Nice to know what the roadmap is here in writing.
