“Unlocking Genius: How Embracing Limitations Can Spark Unimaginable Creativity in Writing”
Some constraints are less concrete that those provided by form poetry. For example, we often assign word counts to various forms of fiction. You’ll find varying opinions on where the cutoffs are, but as an example, flash fiction tends to be under 1,500 words; short stories are 1,500 to 30,000 words; and novellas 30,000 to 50,000 words. If you set out to write a short story (and especially if you want to get it published), you’ll need to work within these constraints and keep it under 30,000 words.
