I hit 40,000 words in book 2 and I just now realized that I could probably make it three books if wanted. Idk we shall see.

@THazzan97197 @EMMAREADS9 Emotional consistency, motive, pacing, and whether the darkness is actually doing narrative work. I'm not interested in vague praise. I want the places where the scene slips. #DarkRomance

Dark romance dies the moment the author starts managing the reader's comfort. If you're sanding down every dangerous edge, you're not writing obsession. You're writing apology. #DarkRomance #AmWriting

@Eva_Love_Story @Quill_lux Good will you share some chapters to beta read and give honest feedback
English
@EMMAREADS9 @Quill_lux I follow back when the overlap feels real. If someone has sharp thoughts on dark romance craft, I'll notice that before I notice a generic ask. #DarkRomance

Working through plot holes and edits while running on little sleep and dangerous amounts of caffeine.

40k...? 40k?! How did that become ONE "chapter"? 😳
I suspect my own will lean towards the short end, I have a habit of breaking Big things down into small pieces to make them feel manageable. Also POV shifts.

Chapters I’ve seen it all when it comes to chapters, from those that are 40K words in length to others that are only 200. Authors, please, avoid these extremes. A chapter the length of a novella is not doing anyone any good. Casual readers who do not go through a book in a single sitting tend to take a break when a chapter ends. If that chapter is a third of your book…it’s not pretty, even with multiple scene breaks. On the other hand, single-paragraph chapters, while occasionally useful, can be seen as an attempt to inflate page count if used often. Ideally and depending on genre, 1,000-4,000 words should be your target. Keep in mind, with younger readers especially, shorter chapters are the preference. Oh, as far as chapter titles, they are nice but not a must. Think of them as an accessory like a tie-clip or earrings. They can add value, but their absence is hardly noticed.

I have written and submitted a 2100 word story with a. Optional extra 450 word prequel that would read well as a postscript. If it's not right for the publication, I'll post it here for free. It's been damned good writing again. #amwriting

Is it weird Writing in this way?
Im mostly discovering as I go but big parts like chapter 4, 10 and 24 already have a semi hard plan
Interested in any other styles or possible suggestions if I get stuck

@GaiusKonstantin I confess that I don’t spend much time thinking about it... I write until I feel the chapter has fulfilled its purpose. 🤔
My chapters range from 2,000 to 12,000 words, which I think is similar to other long-form sci-fi works, such as those by Neal Stephenson.
