    For those who do their own cover art,

    I honestly don't know. I just draw what I feel like, and switch it up when I get bored of it. For my current story, I've gone through three different cover designs that I've made. I don't know if any of them are actually successful as cover images, but they each have their own charms I...

    Any Recommendations?

    You might enjoy my story, In the Shadow of Heaven, which I try to make as emotionally compelling as possible :)

    Rewrite, edit, or continue on at end of arc?

    I think you should continue on. It's better to have more progress on a story than it is to endlessly edit the beginning, which is a trap that people get sucked into often. Save editing for once the story is complete, imo.

    Recommendations?

    I'd love it if you checked out my story, In the Shadow of Heaven, which I think is pretty good :) I'm in the process of cross posting it to here from royalroad, so there are (many) more chapters there than what is currently available here Just a warning, there are some parts that involve injury...

    How long should a regular chapter be?

    My average chapter* is between 5-9k words long. My shortest is <2k, my longest is ~17k. I write typically one event per chapter, or a few smaller scenes if they are related/chronological/don't deserve their own chapter. I think I'm an exception rather than the rule, though, as from what I can...
