Wordcounts...

Hi, what'd be an usual wordcount for a novel? I'm nearly finished with a work with about 25,000 words done. I'd like it to be called a novel instead of a short story. More words needed?

Thanks for your advice, Khai Virtue; I was thinking of getting my novel(la) published by ShieldCrest... Hmm... I'll do as you adviced!

Yes, Lorraine, I'll do that, thanks.

You may want to put that query in a separate thread, Tero, as it won't be noticed here byt the people who can help.
