hmm... i dont want to lock myself in to super long chapters but the need to swap around the chapter breaks to up the drama is so strong

#i've been breaking chapters up approximately every ten pages of drafting so far #which usually word count geeeenerally doubles when i translate from outline to actual writing #so i'm looking at like probably a 6k average wordcount per chapter right now #which i think is nice and manageable #BUUUUUUUUT..... i do prefer to break chapters in terms of plot rather than in terms of length #BUTx2!!!!!!!!! i don't want to lock myself in to really long chapters cus they're kind of tiring. #but x 3 i don't want to slap breaks in for the sole purpose of 'yeah this is long enough cut it here' cus #like i said i prefer my breaks to depend on plot rather than length #idk. either way i'm going to adjust the chapter breaks once i actually finish outlining cus i'll have a better idea of the bigger picture #i'm just kind of publicly musing i guess #i probably will end up committing to longer chapters if that's what it takes to keep the plot broken up in a neater manner #throwback to 2019 when my strategy was 'i'll post a chapter every 2.5k' #can you fucking imagine #the negligible self would have been like 30 something chapters LOL #i did not know what the hell i was doing back then #hence why i imploded and deleted everything lol but we r back and we r thriving baby
