How Long is a Chapter?
14/7/10 18:17I tend to generate chapters that are about 5000 words long. Dunno why, I just do.
Except, of course, when I don't.
The last three chapters have been between 4100-4500 words each. One or two earlier ones were around 6,000. I still have three biggish (I think) chapters to go, and since I'd rather not worry about making exactly 100,000 words--I'm sitting at about 92,000 right now--this means I can probably go in and prune as necessary. Or add. Or something.
