@Asprn02 Hi again.
On average, mine are between 2,000-4,000 words. I do have some future chapters (like maybe one or two) that are around 6,000 words. I generally learned that you don’t wanna make chapters too long to avoid people having to stop and continue later. The sweet spot (at least in my opinion is 2,000-4,000).
I think if you made your chapters slightly longer that might help, especially if it’ll be a while between updates. I’m a fast reader so I can read 1k in less than 10 minutes if I’m not distracted.
If 1k is what you’re comfortable with writing for right now, then stick with it. You kinda just learn what works for you. I just naturally write a lot and have a hard time cutting stuff out because I’m so detailed when I write.
