I'll be with you shortly - Karen Bush

How long should a short story be? How short can a long story be? At what point does a long short story - or a short long one - become a novella? And what about short shorts? Never mind flash fiction ... All of which vexed my brain as I tried to work out how big to make the current novel in progress, and to decide on suitable lengths for the contents of my second book of short stories.
