3/3 If you have data on a book you love, I'd love to see it. Just approximate the counts, like estimated numbers of Kindle pages in a chapter will do.

@Southldntabby Arial 12pt for science in the UK, Times Roman 12pt in the US, Georgia 14pt to 'make text that looks very different than science' when writing about writing.

Have you ever looked at a plot of chapter lengths in books? Some very interesting patterns. For example, in thrillers the pace quickens as chapters get shorter from start to end. Often non-random, in that short follows long and vice versa.

This is great advice for taking a fresh look at writing. For both substance and style - certainly helps in typo-catching.

@Southldntabby As I write and rewrite and re-re-re-write, I change up the font and size with successive drafts to dupe my eyeballs into seeing what I’ve written in a fresh light. I highly recommend this polyamorous approach to typefaces. It’s terrifically useful.
