iām looking at the number of scenes i have for each chapter of āmother, motherā and chapter one has...a lot more? but i think each scene is longer [or will be longer] than the ch 1 scenes so the word count will roundabout be the same.Ā
chapter one is almost 10k, which i was not expecting when i wrote it since the inital first draft was around 14k. ch 2 is 4.8k and iām nearing the halfway point, so that chapter should be of similar length. chapter 3 is a wildcard....it could be 7k or 15k and iām not gonna know until i start writing it.Ā
not quite sure why iām stressing so much about each chapter length being equivalent but i guess i donāt want to shortchange any of the people who are looking forward to the next chapter? the first chapter didnāt do spectacularly [itās actually on track to be my least popular fic if āasking for helpā grows at the same rate it has been, which kind of sucks] but i have to keep reminding myself that i started writing this for myself because itās something i wanted to explore, and even if it flops, itās a) good writing practice and b) something i did for fun, not necessarily for an audience [though audience feedback is nice]. i also have to remind myself that it is incomplete! and there is plenty of time for it to reach more people! i just have to write the thing.Ā
