@AsherAres I personally try to aim for around 1,500+ words for most of my chapters, but I don’t think there’s really a hard minimum. I’ve definitely had chapters where the natural stopping point mattered more than hitting a certain word count. I think if a chapter accomplishes what it needs to and the ending feels intentional, being under 1,000 words isn’t automatically a problem.
          	  
          	  As for first person, I might be slightly useless there lol. I almost always write in third person just because that’s what feels most natural to me. But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with first person at all. If you’re unsure whether it flows, I’d pay more attention to whether you feel like you’re inside the character rather than constantly having to remind yourself to write “I.” If the POV itself keeps fighting you, you could always rewrite a small scene in third person and see which version feels easier/more natural before committing to the whole fic.

@AMB_Maddie_37 okay , in your opinion how short is to short , because for me I would say anything less than 1000 words is short for a chapter , but I’m not necessarily sure , and also, I’m currently writting in first person pov, and I’m not to sure how I feel about it and if the story flows

Hey everyone! ❤️
          
          I just figured out my plan for Chapter 56 of The Sound of Silence, and I’m about to dive in. I am SO excited for this one.
          
          All I’m going to say is…
          
          Tag, You’re It.
          
          Seriously. That song by Melanie Martinez is so perfect for this chapter, and if you know, you know. 
          
          I’ll let you all know as soon as the chapter is up! I seriously cannot wait to see what you think.
          
          And okay… I’m getting a little emotional. 
          
          It’s kind of crazy realizing that this story is reaching its climax. The Sound of Silence has been such an amazing experience for me, and having all of you here—reading, voting, commenting, theorizing, and loving these characters alongside me—has meant more than I can really put into words.
          
          Thank you for sticking with me and for loving this story as much as you have. ❤️❤️
          
          Chapter 56 is coming.
          
          Run, Sophia.

Hi, everyone.  Chapter 55 is up!
          
          First, thank you so much for your patience while I took a bit of a break. Life has been pretty full lately, but I’ve finally been able to settle back into writing, and I can’t tell you how excited I am to be back with The Sound of Silence.
          
          Thank you to everyone who has continued reading, commenting, voting, and checking in on the story while I was away. Your support genuinely means more than you know, and it has helped motivate me to keep telling this story.

Hopefully soon! I just finished my aunts handmade crochet and beaded wedding dress and I’m flying with it to her wedding this weekend. Then I should have a week of downtime after the wedding. It’s been crazy making this dress in only a little more than four months.  I appreciate everyone’s support and patience!
