Here's why:
* Story Length Varies: Stories can be short (like a flash fiction) or long (like a novel).
* Writing Style: Some writers use lots of detail, while others are more concise.
* Pencil Sharpness: A sharp pencil will last longer than a dull one.
The Bottom Line: Focus on the story you want to tell, not the length of your pencil! You can always sharpen it or use a new one as needed. Happy writing!
