About Writing: Words Counts

In line with a number of online sources, I recognise the following word counts in categorising the length of a piece of writing. I’m not pedantic about it, and realise, for example, in some circumstances a piece of micro fiction might be called a short story. But I find these categories can provide a helpful way to organise my writing, and you’ll see this reflected in the layout of this blog.

Short Story – usually between 1,000 and 7,500 words

Flash Fiction – generally 1000 words or less

Micro Fiction – up to about 100 words
