Answer 1

Answer:

I occasionally submit short stories to anthology submission calls, and have had a handful published already. When I read the guidelines, the word count is always the thing I look at first, right after the theme of the anthology.

The shortest story I got published is around 4100 words, and I'm honestly surprised I even managed to write a story that short. It's a funny little bizarro story where the focus is on a single event, but even then staying within the 4000 word limit wasn't easy. Usually, my short stories tend to range between 6000 and 8000 words, and while I can do 4000-5000 if I spend some time cutting it down, I've also read submission calls where publishers said "we accept stories up to 6k but between 3k and 4k is our preferred length."

Now, I wonder - how do you manage to write a complete story that short? For me, around 6000 is the perfect length for a short story, it lets me set up things, get things rolling, and then tie it all off with a nice little climax and satisfying ending. How do you manage to put a satisfying arc into as little as 3000 words?

It feels very rushed to me, like there's no time at all to develop your characters or have the plot play out. You barely got to know your protagonist and then it's over! It takes me about 1000 words to set things up properly, then 2000 to have the plot play out and add some characterization, then roughly another 2000 for the climax and ending.

What's the trick to telling a full, complete story with less than 4000 words?

A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because the only ways of writing it as a product, 1 × 5 or 5 × 1, involve 5 itself.
