To write a novel or not?
Oh boy. If that was too long, I think I typed a much-too-long essay for the person I just replied to, yikes!
But I'm glad that helps. I'd recommend not splitting the chapters in terms of word count (i.e. This is 5,000 words already, so chapter 1 should end), but more in terms of theme/message. You can fiddle with the word count afterward. It's not too late then. Some books that I've read have chapters that are literally less than a paragraph long. Don't let webnovel dictate how long each chapter be. I mean, yeah, you'll probably have to adjust it if you want to post it to their site, but don't let that dictate how long each chapter should be. For example:
Chapter 1
*thud* *thud*
Her heart beat loudly in this silent and forsaken forest. No birds could be heard singing, no leaves rustling. With each step she took, blood could be seen in the footprints.
``
'I have to make it back,' she thought, 'and warn them. If they're unprepared, the whole village could be wiped out. I mustβ'
*crash*
Losing too much blood, she fell onto the ground, never to stand again.
/End of Chapter 1
Every piece is a part of your masterpiece, no matter how downtrodden it may be. It may not be your magnum opus, the peak of your works, but it's laying the foundation for it.
G'luck, and may the stories you two write see the light of day!
Nou You must be a famous editor/co-editor then. I just visited your profile and it says that you're a co-editor of plun--I forgot what was it. Admittedly, I'm just new here in webnovel tho. I don't really care about this app. Yet, Facebook always promote webnovel and I became curious about it; curiousity kills I downloaded it b'cos I love to read.

Nou Well yess, hahahaha! You're not on Facebook? Sad. I read Wattpad before Webnovel. I recommend you to read; Trial Marriage Husband: Need to Work Hard, Yiunyi's the writer. I can't explain how how, Idk how to describe the story in to words. It's really nice. The genre is Romance, Idk if you'll like it or not. I started reading it last week and I'm on Chapter 85 now. Haha. What genre(s) do you like btw? Wait additional question, are you a gentlemen or a lady?
jum_sy I don't know about the gentle part, but I am a man.
Romances are nice if it's not the "love at first sight" and "I know i want to jump on you and you on me when we first laid eyes on each other" type of romance. I like reading stories like, in this manga, "Can't See Can't Hear But Love"(Use your favorite manga viewing website). I enjoy them. They're a nice change of pace from all the war and blood ever so prevalent in these CN webnovels.
I am currently enjoying reading fantasy novels the most right now. Give Trudi Canavan's "The Black Magician" a try and tell me what you think about it.
I'll give Trial Marriage Husband a try. Ty for that recommendation!
How am I a famous editor? I'm so confused @_@
