a regular novel is usually much longer!. They state in the FAQ that what you are writing is more of an attainable goal that is somewhere in the realm of NOVELLA but since that isn't a word that is well accepted they choose to keep the term novel!.

I checked a couple of sites online and they say that if the average novel is 300 pages the word count is between 70,000 and 75,000!.

I am writing too!.!. how much have you accomplished in the last two days!.!. I am up to 3080words!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
