I'm coming back to a 25,000 word story which I started over 10 years ago. I still like it and I want to finish it (that would be an achievement in itself for me) but I am having trouble deciding whether it is sci-fi, fantasy or horror as it contains elements of all 3!
Maybe it doesn't even matter because all the genres seem relevant to the story.
If I do manage to finish it, it will be the longest piece I've ever written bar my university dissertation which was almost 30,000 words. It amazes me that I had no problems writing long and (often) tedious essays in record time but struggle to get words down when I want to write fiction which I find much more exciting!
