Recently discovered that if I play the soundtracks to fantasy videogames while I'm watering the plants at my garden center job, I can pretend I'm a humble peasant about to be called to action and it's really been making the hours go by a lot faster

I need to be writing for ABILAB, but I've been struck over the head with my recurring yearly fantasy fixation, and the only things I've been able to watch are the first two Narnia movies on repeat and Kingdom Come: Deliverance I and II edits on TikTok...

@-DaydreamAvenue they're soooooo good!! The books were my childhood growing up, too, so the nostalgia is working overtime lmao

What's the word count y'all prefer for chapters to be? I used to try to keep it between 1000 and 1500, and now I typically do 2000, but it still feels like such an awkward length... Would 3000+ be too much?

@brzatto ok that makes me feel sm better! it used to be a "thing" on wattpad when I first started, where it was heavily recommended that writers try to keep chapters short to allow for easier reading, so I've always been a bit afraid of doing too much but it's sooooo hard trying to keep things limited
brzatto
mine lately have varied from 1000 to 2000 for certain books and then 6000 to 11000 for others. 3000 should be fine !

So I'm working on some WIPs right now, but I've been playing a lot of Stardew Valley in between and was wondering if there would be any potential interest in a Stardew fanfic?

I forgot how nice it is to just sit down and word vomit. No pressure to make corrections or have a plan or adjust anything— just putting words on paper and watching it all come to life. You start, then it's 10 minutes later and you've suddenly got 500 words, and it makes the daunting task of writing a whole chapter feel a lot less scary.
