I accidentally wrote a novella to upload as part of my silly weekly shorts thing.
And now I have about a month to edit it.
Oops.
(This isn't the only reason I haven't been around here much lately, but this is the funniest part of the reason)
(This is particularly hilarious to me considering I'm used to writing entire things that are, like, 500-1000 words, even when working with prose. Previously I think the longest piece of prose I'd written was around 3.5k, but I'd need to double check two other pieces to be entirely sure of that)
(Also, not exaggerating about it being a novella. ~21k words. Both Hugo and Nebulas class novella as 17.5-40k words. Which, yes, means that if you participate in NaNoWriMo, you actually are writing a novel. You could write 10k less words and still wind up with a novel.)
