Keep in mind that Hitchhikers to the Galaxy clocks in just under 50K and Fahrenheit 451 just about scraps in under 48K. Word count is not a value to how good a story is.

I've read some stinkers that are over 100K and go nowhere for 95K of those words (if you are lucky), and I've read some wonderful shorts and novellas that extremely thrilling.
