12k? That’s a novelette, maybe even novella, not short story. 😛
The editor specified a story between 7500 and 15000 and called it a “short story,” not a novelette. I split the difference then rounded up, and I’m not bothered by the terminology. The editor calls it a “short story,” so a “short story” it shall be. :holmes:
The editor is always right? 😆
Knowing the editor, he’d probably break a bone or three if I claimed otherwise. 😉
