The length criteria for the Hugo Awards, which seem a reaonable set to go by, are:

Short story:  <7500 words.
Novelette: 7500-17,500 words.
Novella: 17,500-40,000 words.
Novel: >40,000 words.

These criteria were set up at a time when the average genre novel was quite abit shorter than in recent decades, though.

We got our 1099 from our publisher so we can finally do out taxes.... it worked out to less than a weeks pay though(sigh)

Cyclone Jack:
Finished adapting my short story Xangurl into a 12 minute screenplay so that my friend in film school can use it for his Production course. Adaption was tricky, but I think it turned out quite well.
