Nobody understands the bond between a girl and the mediocre book she read when she was 13 years old.

Currently reading: When Shadows Fall by Lindy Enns

Got my copy of this today & while I've already read it since the author is in my writing group, it's worth the reread and I definitely recommend it!

Hey all!! My friend is currently doing a kickstarter to get their book turned into an audiobook and I thought I'd share it here. The book is FANTASTIC and the rewards for backing it are veryy cool (I'm lookin at you specifically, limited edition hardcover copy 🤤)

So if you like zombies and found families, maybe give this a look and spread it around so they can get the funds they need!

The American artist Mike Stilkey was summoned by a bookstore in Seoul to design large-scale mosaics created with books.

question: how long are you guys’s chapters usually?

in my book they’ve ranged from less than 1k up to like 4k so I want some direction in trying to even this out

[lux-scriptum]

However long I need them to be tbh. I’ve never worried about chapter length. It always seemed more important to write what happened than to worry about this chapter being short and this one being long.

[nicholewrites-deactivated202007]

I agree with the above.

Although I find genre and audience plays a big role.

Purg chapters were usually 3-6k and that’s my standard for other more…serious works? Anguish chapters are usually around 2k but it’s not as serious or highbrow.

[words-will-stay-deactivated2020]

I used to strictly follow the 2k rule, but now I’ve allowed myself 1.5 to 1.7k and nothing less than that. 

[ludosayshi]

I agree with what Lux said. Mine tend to vary, sometimes wildly. The story I finished recently, for example, has some short ones around 3-400 words and I believe the longest chapter was 7k. I don't usually pay too much attention to chapter length. Sometimes it takes 7k words to get everything done, sometimes it doesn't. Depends on what's going on and the pace of the story, imo.

I forgot to link in my last post, but I'm ludosayshi on IG as well if you'd like to follow me there too! I've had this book on my shelf for a while and only got around to reading it recently. I really enjoyed it & it made me think about cloning people and how I would feel if there was a clone of me who had all my memories. And I'm not really sure if I'd be okay with that haha

[ludosayshi]

I update my instagram more often than I update tumblr since the tumblr app doesn't work well on my phone. But I'm going to play a little catch-up and post the pics up on here too! I don't know what it is about this series, but I love it so much haha and it has some of the prettiest covers ♡<♡

[asexualbookbird]

me: look at this book i just bought!

someone: ive been meaning to read that let me know how it is!

me: bold of you to assume i’ll read this right away and not let it sit on my shelf for ten years

[ludosayshi]

I've been neglecting tumblr so much lately 😥 But I've been in an everything slump lately. Finally broke my reading & book photo slump with The Rise of Nine the other day. So hopefully this kicks things off for me getting back into the things I love doing. ♡
