I plan to write the next chapter for Of Ice and Snow tomorrow, but I'm not allowed to publish it on Wattpad until the contest host gives me permission to do so. Not sure when that will happen. But I have a 10k word count limit, and I always write as close to the maximum as I can, so I have more room to play, and it occurred to me I may need to think about splitting these chapters up (it's a multiple round contest, and I intend to follow the prompts to the end, even if I'm eliminated).46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmTjpkfggE
And that got me thinking about the longer chapters I already have. I've seen guidelines from other writing platforms suggesting readers prefer 1.5k-2.5k word chapters (Dreame: 1.5k-2k, Inkitt: 1.9k-2.5k), and since I'm wordy, I've made it a rule to shoot for 1.9k-2.5k (although 2k looks like the sweet spot). I have six chapters over 2.5k words right now.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZOAJi7lAG
So, I'm going to try splitting those chapters into multiple parts and see how that goes. If anybody has any feedback, ideas, suggestions, whatever, just let me know. I'm all ears. :)46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YfzsR6pSc
Side note: I'm undecided about publishing the next chapter here on Penana when I finish it. I think it's best if I don't, since I should abide by the contest rules... But this prompt is very, very different from what I've had in the past, and I can tell you guys this will be a wild ride when I do decide to publish it here. Think soap opera. With plane crashes and errant flocks of dragons. ;)46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6YNCyopKU
