Hi. Sorry I've not messaged on here in so long I've forgotten how to message private but I wanted to share with you the song I wrote about Daniella

Just a quick question. Does it matter how many words each chapter should be? Is there any "desired" limit or some "unspoken rule" about it? I can't write past a lot of first chapters for this reason, because I don't want each chapter to be too long or too short. Opinions of readers and writers are greatly appreciated! <3
@MKPrin8 Thank you! I've been hitting the 1500 mark and sometimes 1200 and it has always felt small and big. I feel better knowing a baseline. Thank you!
@MKPrin8 1500-2000 is a good baseline. I tried 4000 word chapters and all except serious oldschool readers agreed it was far too long. After some research and questioning I came to the conclusion that 1500 - 2000 was the most digestible figure for books of darker more serious tones while 500-1500 was preferred for more lighthearted books such as comedy and romance. I personally write each chapter as long as my art direction requires but then revise while searching a point I can split it. Write according to what the story requires and think about size afterwards. One of my chapters is only 300 words because that was all it required while some are 2300. What the chapter needs to convoy and portray must be done correctly and satisfactory according to the author first and foremost
@AliSaracen thank you so much. I just woke up and it still feels fake. It feels like I'm going to walk out of this bedroom and see my Mom. I know it happened, but my brain is not able to process and cope with it. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
@MKPrin8 To Him we belong and to Him we shall return. A peaceful return is the best we could wish for each other but, I hope it is enough to try and help through this time. Life is short and loss is hard so every part of our character is tested at one time or another. I'm sorry for your loss. My prayers and hugs
@MKPrin8 Wise decision, I guess when you lack the motivation to finish one work, the best thing to do is unpublish it than keeping it in halt and leaving the readers hanging. Wish you all the luck for, "Mirrum" and I'll be definitely looking forward to "A Dragon's Violin" though whenever you decide to update it. :))
@DreamingBud My works are either deleted or just unpublished at the moment. "A Dragon's Violin" is currently unpublished until I can get it finished, but I am working on "Mirrum" first until I can find the desire/motivation to work on "A Dragon's Violin" again. "The Wanderer and The Vault Dweller" is also currently unpublished because I am working on the rewrite. I am wanting to wait until all of my works are fully finished before I start posting them. I thank you for inquiring about "A Dragon's Violin" though. Hope this answers your question ❤️
@brighteverafters Glad I was able to make ya laugh XD❤️ Also just now realized I meant to say "goes" not "does" in my post XD welp, the plot thickened there XD
