A short story is a great medium to voice one’s words. It strikes the chord with the reader, for the worth it reasons – precise, short, quick and readable. A novel however is a detailed saga of the author’s version of the story.
I personally enjoy both short story and novel, depending on my reading mood. Both have pros on their sides. Short stories unwrap in a way that towards the end they provide the reader an element of surprise or excitement (not necessarily all short stories), giving their message. Whereas novels take the reader into a whole another world where the story unfolds eventually and provides the reader a charismatic experience.
What do you prefer? Short story or novel?
I enjoy novel more. Change in pattern of reading then go for short stories but but the end it’s how much you enjoy reading.
That’s true Tanvir. It depends on what we enjoy more. I too like short novels. Thanks for joining. 😊
Both have their own way to keep people hooked to them.
One cannot say which is interesting.
I prefer small books or short stories.
And you write both in such a way that I think everyone loves your writing either it is novel or short stories
Thank you so much Swarnim! Even I prefer short stories and small books. I like the feel which comes after finishing a book.

For me it depends on the story. I enjoy medium sized books not very long ones. And short stories too.
Yeah, that’s same for me too Sadje! Since I am a slow reader, I don’t prefer very thick novels, unless the story is really interesting enough to keep me hooked.
