The problem with writing long stories...

Is that they take longer to finish, therefore you cannot write as much and get them completed as often.

Maybe it's because I personally like long stories to read. I don't mind one or two/shots because I have written both but I find I like stories that are at least 10 chapters in length.

If you want to be a serious writer then you have to write long. Most stories are between 10 to 'x' number of chapters depending on the length of the plot. Tbh I don't take notice of word count much but more rather the page or chapter length OTL.

I started writing novel-length stories before I got into fanfics so maybe that's part of the reason.

For anyone who wants to know about updates I am pausing Joker of Hearts for another week because of a little something I'm doing but so far no one seems to have entered which makes me a little sad.

And I'm getting The Mediator reviewed because one it's crap is so deep I need someone else to wade through the filth and find out what's wrong with it.

But Seraphim is getting started up again. I realise the dangers of putting a story on hold for too long. People forget it exists and so no one comments or subscribes. If I was popular then it may be different but I'm not going to cry over what I don't have (much ;___;)

Shame I cannot write longer blog posts. Have a good week ^^

I actually keep the track of the length of the chapters^^' I don't know why, but I have this obsession of writing chapter over 1,000 words^^'
As for the actual length of the story, I find that I have a thing for ending them somewhere around 24 chapters^^ But some of my stories are longer than that, so it depends on the plot.
And some news of "Through the Pages" update? :D

Same. I don't count the number of words (and I don't care either), but I look at the size of the scroller at the side of the page ^_^
I wouldn't find that 10 chapters is enough to expand on your characters or plot, but maybe that's just me :)
