(You can all laugh now. Ghost Horse wasa 25,000 word novel. But as someone who started with short stories not because she ought but because she was better at and more comfortable with them, it was a really big deal.)
That's not laughter, that's envy <wry g>. Or at least, from me it is. I sent in a novella to a YA fantasy collection that's 30,000 words (and the longest short thing I've written to date, although it's the third to break the 20K word mark). I would have been happy to consider it a novel, though...
