So I am writing chapter 1. But I worry It's too long. are 4000 words too much for a chapter? I want to get to certain point to end off chapter 1.

@Sugar-Lover

most novels have an average of 3,000 to 5,000 words per chapter. I think 4,000 words is fine as long as you keep the chapters mostly consistent, like not going from 4,000 words to 1,000 words up to 6,000 words. But 4,000 to 3,000 or 2,500 should be fine.

Honestly, that sounds pretty good? I can't do the math exactly in my head, but in normal novel formatting, that's prob about 15 pages and I'd say that's a good chapter length. It's about what I aim for
