A writer rebuilding a G4 PPC Mac sent the screenshot on the left of Storyist 2, circa 2013. The screenshot on the right was taken this morning. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! #writing

A couple of you have asked what length an SF novel should be. Here are SFWA's guidelines for the Nebula Awards:

1. Novel: Over 40,000 words
2. Novella: 17,500 - 40,000 words
3. Novelette: 7,500 - 17,500 words
4. Short story: Under 7,500 words

Hope that helps.

I’ve just turned 50, & here I am, on another social media platform. Sigh! I’m a full time author who mostly writes time travel trilogies, with a smattering of paranormal thrillers in between. I have a vampire thriller releasing soon, & the 3rd book in my Roman time travel trilogy. Do we hashtag??

It's November 15th—the halfway point for those participating in #NaNoWriMo. If you've already reached 50k, take a bow. The rest of us will be with you shortly.
