TorchMLP: I remember one time you got a comment complaining about how long the chapter was, Neon
Phoenix: Did they want it longer or shorter?
Phoenix: Hah!
BorrowedTime24601B: they complain if they think it’s too long, they complain if they think it’s too short
BorrowedTime24601B: no one’s happy
nightmares06: And I all get is complaints about being too short
Neon: People who complain about chapter lengths need to chill XD
TorchMLP: your chapters are perfect nightmares
wolfie180g: chapters should only be as long as they need to be. my longest was 19k, and shortest chap was 4 k
wolfie180g: of course i get far too wordy
nightmares06: XD I’ve taken to shorter chapters because suspense is fun
Phoenix: And of course whatever emotions the chapter itself made me feel.
Neon: I’ve ended up with more variation in chapter length
wolfie180g: night, your chapters have everything you need in them – succinct and perfect

Oh, dear. Poor Jacob, and his tumbly nature! We’ll just have to wait and find out. I can’t imagine the scolding he’d get if he caused an earthquake in the room, lol.

As for chapter length, I must point out that with the development of my writing style has some changes to how chapters are set up. I gravitate towards suspense and anxiety, therefore we’ve gone from chapters that were usually ~3k to 4k words to chapters that can vary from ~1.5k to 5k words. With three updates a week, this shouldn’t be a problem. And there will be times that the word count goes under!

Because word count should never drive how a story is set up. The writing itself should do that.
