It really depends on the genre and your target audience. Some genres like short stories can be around 5,000 words, while novels can go up to 100,000 words or more.
Well, it varies a lot. For a children's book, it might be around 10,000 words. But for a complex fantasy epic, you could aim for 150,000 words or more. It all depends on what you want to convey and who you're writing for.
The length of your story in word count is flexible. A novella could be around 20,000 to 40,000 words. But ultimately, it should be long enough to tell your story effectively without dragging on or leaving important elements out.
