yaoyueyi This is a view from the side of the author, not from the side of the reader. Each coin has two sides and still has a rim.
From the point of view of the author - if everything is calm and there is no additional burden, problems in real life related to health and other things, then you can write 3-4 chapters a week. Perhaps even from 2500 to 5500 words each.
2500 words can be written in 2 hours.
But this is just raw materials. With one grammar check at best. If you check more carefully the grammar, spelling, syntax - it will take time for 1 chapter about 5 hours. If you add here not just thoughts, but also process the chapter from the point of view of fiction, add compositional techniques, polish the text, then the release of one chapter will take 1-2 days.
Since the original short story for novice authors is primarily a test - a test to see if the author will be able to develop the habit of writing at least 2500-3000 words a day or not. The goal is to write in 1 year - 1,000,000 words.
When the short story is written ... then it will be possible to start grinding it, to remove something, and to add something. It is possible to bring to relaxation the novels - corrector and editor. But before you do this, you need to make sure that your novel is generally read by someone, it is interesting to someone, then there is an incentive to rewrite it. In addition, you need material, a backlog to start grinding it. Unformed ideas, you as an author will not be able to grind.
From the reader’s point of view, the author writes too slowly, 3-4 chapters a week are few, the story is too interesting or you want to know something new. And the author slows down. I understand that he has his own life, but he can exert himself, give up all his affairs and start writing. After all, he himself put the yoke of the author of short stories around his neck, now he is obliged to write for readers.
From the point of view of the editors - ???? I don’t know, but they, too, probably think something about it.
On the Internet there are different people those who understand and those who do not understand. Those who understand will perceive your letter as an attempt to constructively explain what the author feels. One who does not understand ... he will not want to understand you.
On the other hand, as an author, you should be glad that you have readers who comment on you, so your story has interested them, they give their feedback. And do not silently ignore you.
