Not much to say today - got 1,145 words done for Sunset, and I'm getting the feeling that this is likely going to be a short chapter. Probably the shortest in the story so far.
Then again, my predictions don't always pan out. So we'll see.
Current word total for the month is 5,727.
Sometimes a short chapter is needed if it fits well. Long chapter can give a lot and make you feel you get more for your money, but short and simple can be gratifying all the same. A Lord of the Rings book and a Chronicles of Narnia book are both considered masterpieces, despite the fact they are opposites in terms of length. Just write what you feel is right for the story, whether long or short.
