New story 2 millionHow many words do y'all write per chapter. The highest number gets a cookie.
Depends. How short we talking?If the longest gets a cookie, can the shortest (me) get a muffin?
The shortest I've ever written was 700Depends. How short we talking?
Bring that down to like 300 and you get half a muffin, and this guy:The shortest I've ever written was 700
Congratulations! You get the cookie. Have a good day now.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.
