I finished a novella recently about a teenage girl in love with her straight best friend (also set in alternate communist-Japan as a background thing), and I'm in a dilemma because in terms of prose and characterisation it's one of the best things I've ever written, and I want to write more of it, but it feels finished at the fairly short length it is(36,000 words). I don't know whether to give in or to trust my artistic sensibility that it's good as-is.
