Dear /lit/
My book is 20k words.
Is this acceptable?

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 18 00:32:51 2014 No.4580460 Kafka's Metamorphosis is 21,810 words. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/8/the-metamorphosis So it's not really a book, more like a novella.

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 18 00:35:51 2014 No.4580466 eh it's novel enough

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 18 00:36:51 2014 No.4580473 My book consists only of poorly drawn caricatures of Rousseau. Is this bad?

>>	OSiRiS !OSiRiS3dfk Tue Feb 18 00:45:51 2014 No.4580501 >>4580445 No "my book" is two words. Perhaps you should have paid more attention in math class instead of writing your shitty stories.

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 18 00:45:51 2014 No.4580505 >>4580460 novellas can be published, but its not very profitable for most publishers.

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 18 00:48:51 2014 No.4580513 Show us your short story, OP

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 18 00:51:51 2014 No.4580528 Absolutely. Just make sure it's tightly written. No Proustiness - save that for the sort of book one buries oneself in, i.e. a doorstopper.

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 18 01:16:53 2014 No.4580583 >>4580501 i laughed way too hard at this

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 18 01:18:51 2014 No.4580587 >>4580513 It's handwritten because whoever uses a laptop to write is a pleb. It's about insomnia, simple as that.

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 18 01:39:51 2014 No.4580621 Call it part one and start writing more.

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 18 02:07:51 2014 No.4580658 >>4580587 I have insomnia so i'm cool Xd

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 18 02:37:14 2014 No.4580706 >>4580505 Amazon now does these short story "one shots" called "Kindle Singles", since there's little cost with distribution and no costs for printing publishing novellas and even short stories by themselves for a dollar or so actually becomes viable.
