Writing

I was thinking today about trying to get back into writing. Other than my blog, I really haven’t been writing in quite a long time. In thinking about this I started wondering about the different categorizations of a piece of writing. From what I can piece together, the following table is how it works:

Category Word Count
Short Shorts/Short Short Fiction 1-1,000
Short Story 1,000-7,500
Novelette 7,500-17,500
Novella 17,500-40,000
Novel 40,000+

I would like to write something that falls into each of these categories. I know it won’t happen right away, but I think it’s a good goal to try and have completed by something like 2010.
