Novellas with the short form of short stories are written with chapters that capture scenes and divide plots.  Introductions develop into sequences of scenes that dramatize places and characters.  Chapters segment events, and dramatize plots.  Short-form novellas end conclusively with summarizations of thoughts and actions.

Novellas with the long form of novels are written with climaxes that capture plots and divide time.  Introductions develop into plots, and scenes build upon successive events.  Time elapses into climaxes, and restarts to describe conclusions of scenes.  Long-form novellas build tensions into climaxes, and end with deductions of events.​​
