Some useful definitions I found from the SFWA (Science Fiction Writers of America):
Novel: a work of 40,000 words or more
Novella: a work of at least 17,500 words but under 40,000 words
Novelette: a work of at least 7,500 words but under 17,500 words
Short story: a work of under 7,500 words Novel: 40,000+ words
A 12-pt font double-spaced type-written page is approximately 300 words, which makes a Novel (approximately) 133+ pages, a Novella 60-130 pages, a Novelette 25-60, and a Short Story less than 25.
The current piece I'm working on is about 4,000 words, and will probably either be a long short story or a short novelette.
