I have retired and am settling into my new role as a Proper Old Woman Who Writes Things. :P I'm going to open mics, starting part-time with the local library, and less than a year from my debut novel. All is good in my hood.

This is my TBR jar. When I finish a book, Iβm going to pull a title for the next read. Lots of history and baseball, but a couple of novels. If you are the person I stole this from I thank you. π

Very exciting news in my little corner of the world - the content edits, line edits, and copy edits on my debut novel are done!! It's still a year away, but it's been a year of tweaking too. I can't wait to share it. <3 #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity #blindspot #ya

My two favorite things, words and baseball. So happy to have won a spot in the National Baseball Poetry Festival.

This is probably another of those million things that are subjective.
14.02.2025 12:51 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I asked the same question, and my editor says it's more about consistency. If your first chapter is 6000, then your subsequent chapters should be roughly (like within 1000 words) the same length as well.
