Chapter 5: 4000 words and counting
Added 2022-03-17 17:54:38 +0000 UTCSo, the word count for Chapter 5 continues to trundle along, and reached 4k today. I abandoned by original plan to revise chapter 4 - it was at risk of becoming way too long - but what I wrote was salvagable as a starting for chapter 5. It's tricky to find writing time during a weekday - I'm lucky if I carve out 30 minutes for myself - but even at that pace the chapter is growing nicely. There's some fun stuff going on between Cindy and Julia that I hope readers will enjoy.
Though I wonder - do readers prefer chapters to be short and frequent, or longer and more developed, but dropping only every couple of months or so?

Hmm. Good question actually! Probably up to low few thousand words I reckon, but honestly it should depend on what you can do regularly for a quality product, sustainably & considering a busy schedule tbh
