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.
Craft stories that sell. How you choose to tell your story is as important as the story you tell. Picture book texts must be lean and mean, with exceptionally tight pacing. Although word counts can soar up to 1,200â1,300 words, most picture book texts for ages 3â8 are around 250â600 words.
