How long is long?
Jul. 23rd, 2005 07:23 pmI just saw someone refer to 4200 words as a long chapter
they post in their LJ one chapter at a time
I'm waiting until my story is all finished before I post (because I have this tendency to go back and start over, or change things that happened several acts ago)
but when I do I was going to post in parts rather than just put an announcement up
because for some reason that seems to get more readers
(I do not know why)
And also because I don't think you even can put 30,000 words in an LJ post
and if you did the emails you get for the comments would be
HUGE
ANYways
what size is a good size for a part?
how long is long?
my smallest section is the teaser at 1300ish
but the next smallest is about 5000
and act 3 is... bigger.
I may have to play with the act breaks a bit.
But anyways, thoughts?
