Basically how many are required for one? Mine has at least three in it. Is that enough or does it need more? They are all of pretty good length as well.

My usual answer applies: you'll never know until you write it! :D

Three sounds like a good number, though. So does one and five and twelve and three. It all depends on the type of obstacles and how the characters react to them.

The only thing for it, really, is to get writing and figure it out. If it feels like you're running out of substance, then maybe it's not enough. But novellas can be as short and novellas can be long.

Have you thanked a teacher lately? You should. Their bladder control alone is legend.
  








Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.
