Oh for heaven's sake... remove your mind from the gutter.
I'm talking about Chapter Length. I'm struggling with this issue in my latest wip and would love some feedback...
I broke the sections into logical places, but now am worried that they're much too long. In terms of word count - they go from 2000 to just over 4000 - which puts some well over 12 pages (and writers: I'm still in Times dbl space -- haven't converted to NY standards yet so you know they'll be longer).
So tell me, readers and writers -- what do you prefer?
A) Long meaty chapters that let you fully escape into the writer's world
B) Short - couple-of-pages-only, so that staying up to read 'just one more chapter' doesn't take you a year
C) a combination of the two because you like the variety, or...
D) I've never paid attention / I just don't care
I appreciate any and all opinions :)
