What is prose?
Prose is written language that is unmetered, follows grammar rules, and is organized into
sentences and paragraphs. Prose writing typically emulates natural speech, though this is not a
requirement. Prose encompasses items such as novels, biographies, magazine articles, and other
similar works.

What is differences between short story, novellet, and novel ?

Short Story : The most important difference between a short story, novelette, novella, and a
novel is the word count. An average short story usually has at least 3,500 words and no more
than 7,500. Traditionally, short stories were meant to be read in a single sitting. They are usually
published individually in magazines and then collected and published in anthologies.

Novellet : A novelette is also narrative fictional prose. Back in the day, the term “novelette”
referred to a story that was romantic or sentimental in character. To be honest, in modern times,
the term is rarely used, and novelettes are rarely published singly.A novelette is longer than a
short story but shorter than a novella. The word count is usually between 7,500 words to 17,500
words.

Novel : The novel is one of the more common works of fiction that we encounter. A novel often
involves multiple major characters, sub-plots, conflicts, points of view, and twists. Due to its
considerable length, a novel is meant to be read over a period of days. The plot moves forward
through many characters, actions, thoughts, time periods, and situations. The reader often feels
that the story deviates and is affected by the involvement of different sub-stories and sub-plots,
by the passage of time, or by the involvement of new important characters– this is considered the
real beauty of a novel. However, a novel is usually no shorter than 40,000 words.
