Small Victories
Cyclone Jack:
Finished 1st draft of The Joker King, the 5000 word first 'stanza' in a six short story cycle that leads up to my (sigh -- still in seemingly unending 2nd Draft) first novel The Crumbler. I finished the 5th part (Tessellation) over a year ago and am halfway done with the 2nd Part (which I initially wrote in a notebook while sans computer).
Bleh. Maybe one day some of the discipline I have in meeting my daily quota will leak over into my organizational skills. :-\ ;D
Cyclone Jack:
Finished the first draft for Pools Of Shade In The Land Of Sunshine -- a subtle fantasy about family infighting taking place at a large annual reunion.

Depends. My most common length is 5000-7500 words. My shortest story was 586 words. My longest (technically a novella) was 20,000.

At what point is it called a novel?
