Length acceptability seems to depend on the genre - a huge tome for some types of book is the expected thing, but others the opposite 🀣
Interesting take on number is series. I always wrote 3, but then I did 2 series with 5. I think 3 again will be the next one.

As a reader, do you prefer series or standalone books or do you swap between the two?

Fellow authors, what do you prefer writing?

I write series as I keep thinking of more threads to finish my story in one book but read both.

I'm planning on 7k words today, although it will end up more like 3k.
It might be less as I'm at the bit where I'm bringing all the subplots together.
