Hey there,
a new author here. (:

I was wondering how do you dissect your novel? How many chapters does a volume usually have? I am far from having 50+ chapters but I have been wondering if there is a good hold of chapters that one can decide to wrap up in Vol. 1 before heading for Vol. 2? Or this is subjective and depends on the writer? Hmmm.

Also...When and why do you create 'Volume 0'? I get that writers use it as a place to dump additional info...but I was wondering if that's its true purpose.

    Auxiliary volume is for additional info, prologues, author notes etc. I actually noticed that when you click 'read', it will automatically skip the auxiliary volume, starting right at the beginning of volume 1. So anything you don't want new readers to read first hand when they click read, maybe move it to the volume 0. :)

    On how I personally split the volumes: I split the volumes into arcs. Each arc focuses in a smaller story line. It's easier for me to keep it all organized. I doubt this is the correct way to do it, but it works for me right now. :D

    Oh, I was thinking to ask regarding arcs as well. If a single volume can include several arcs or volumes are separated by arcs. 🤔 So, I guess it is relative and it depends on the author how to separate them. 🧐

    Thank you for your time. ☺️

      neaht3 you need to focus when you are writing or you will type the wrong thing it will not work out
