I finished Thursday's story: it's almost 5K long, and polishing will
probably make it less than 4.5K.

When I first thought of it, I thought it was a novel, though, so
there's a reason for it to be long.

Is it okay if the one I do on Monday is one I started at the beginning
of the summer?

It seems like darkish fantasy takes to the short form better than
cheerful things. Do other people think so too?
