average amount of chapters for a story
look at some of your favourite books and estimate a number - count the number of words on three lines then get the average wpl number. multiply this by the number of lines per page and then by the average number of pages per chapter. All of my chapters have anywhere between 1,700 and 2,500 words. I can't write long chapters because I personally hate reading super long chapters in books. However, one chapter of my other novel is 4,025 words, but that's just because there was a lot to cover in that one.
