chapter lengths for stories - Comments

I think it depends on the story, to be honest. Every story has it's own chapter lengths. I have a crime story called 'Chelsea Smile' that has extremely short chapters (ie - under 1000 words) because that's how ideas are presented in that story. In some of my others, each chapter is 1 - 2000 words. It just depends on the way you present your story.

I love longer stories. Which is one of the reasons why I adore Dru's writing. I can't believe that I haven't seen your writing before on Mibba. Your stories seem really cool.

I have to read your writing! *spazzes out*

I feel like there is more meaning in stories that have chapters longer than 1000 words, even though the chapters for my stories are only 1050 - 2000. Longer chapters may take longer to read, but it's definitely worth it. I guess it kind of depends on the story, though. I don't want to sit down and read a long story that I'm not even interested in.

v hahaha obvvvvv

You know my viewpoint. Obvi. XD

I don't care, it depends on the story, really. I have long chapters in Running Water, but in Heavy Heart, Harlot, and Isobel, I use chapters that go from 95 words to 700 words. It depends on the style, what's going on in the chapter. I really don't like when chapters have like four seperate sections seperated by a bunch of stars. It feels choppy, there's no flow. Just keep it short if you aren't going to make it clean type of thing.

I think most people here on the journal section, the only people I really read from, do about 2,000?
