How many words do y'all write per chapter. The highest number gets a cookie.

My standard is 4k per chapter (main), though my average hangs around 4.2k to 4.5k. Side chaps nowadays have a minimum of 1k words, but can get as high as 3k words.

But there was a time when I wrote 6.7k words in a single chapter.

I began with 1500... nowadays I stick to 2200~3000. If the chapter is longer than that, i split it in half.

If the longest gets a cookie, can the shortest (me) get a muffin?

The shortest I've ever written was 700
Bring that down to like 300 and you get half a muffin, and this guy:

I think of each Chapter as an Episode. Based on my outline, I know what needs to get done in the 'Episode' and will write until the 'Episode' is complete. Once all checkboxes are marked, it's done. Then I clean up, edit some errors, run it through Grammarly, and send it.

Overall, the average chapter length tends to be 5-8k. However, I have some chapters reaching 20k.

I try to write around 3k words per chapter, but it usually ends up being ~3-4k instead of ~3k. The most I've written up to now in a single chapter was a bit above 6k.
