The end_date is the end of the period you wish to calculate as a fraction of a year. The [basis] lets us define the âyearâ in a few different ways. 1 will give us the actual year. The DATE function takes a numerical year, a numerical month between 1-12, and a day between 1-31.
A. There are general guidelines for each literary category: Short stories range anywhere from 1,500 to 30,000 words; Novellas run from 30,000 to 50,000; Novels range from 55,000 to 300,000 words, but I wouldnât recommend aiming for the high end, as books the length of War & Peace arenât exactly the easiest to sell.
The Genre will affect the length of the story, too. Young Adult novels tend to be shorter than novels and can be 50,000 to 80,000 words long. Science Fiction and Fantasy novels tend to be longer and can be up to 125,000 words long. Screenplays are different.
