christi Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I'm well on my way to writing my first story here and am wondering if 2700(and growing) words counts as a short story here? Link to comment
WBDaddy Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 As long as you are able to build solid, three-dimensional characters and a coherent plot, you can do it in as few words as you like. Even the plot part is semi-optional, there is such a thing as a vignette, which is more of a scene than an actual story. I've posted a number of such pieces here and elsewhere. What you don't want to do is have an information dump in a paragraph or two and then a hurried plot that doesn't give you time to create empathy for the characters involved. 2 Link to comment
