I'm currently plotting what could possibly be a novella. Or a novel. It's only in the beginning stages, but it looks like a novella.

Who's written one (or more)? How long is it? Why did you make that particular story a novella? Did you develop it with the specific intent of it being a novella, or did it just turn out that way? Have you done anything with the finished piece? This is the thread for sharing random thoughts about novellas and their practical purpose... |

I have Trice (30,000) and Tia's World (10,000+) that are actually acknowledged novellas. I didn't plan them any more than I planned anything else, they just came out that way. A great many of my so called novels aren't nearly as long as they should be to justify that title either. Legend of Darmoor, for instance, is a grand total of 60,000 words, and it's three books! I finally just lumped them together and called it one novel. I have no clue what to do with them. They sit around and look at me morosely, and I glare at them and demand why they aren't longer. |

I have a few novella ideas, but I haven't written a novella so far. I view novellas as useful for stories that are far longer than short stories but not long enough to be novels. Novellas are hard to get published, though. |

I've had a couple of my writer friends self-publish novellas as one of their earliest published works. Has anyone here done that? What were your experiences? |
