How Many Pages 5000 Words Novels & Stories

I like making my chapters at least 3k words because I pack a lot into one chapter and I am unable to do that with a word limit of 1500-2k (to keep my chapters affordable I need to keep them between that word count). This story is dragging on because I'm trying to figure out how to keep it at a good pace while also keeping the chapters short and sweet. I'm afraid I'll either make the story too fast or as I am making it now, too slow. I am unable to find a healthy balance and this story is starting to become more of a burden than a joy like it originally is supposed to be.

And yeah… she might just have to stay overnight. “Umm… here. We have 20 thousand words for the first half of the book. Which is our initial target.” Twenty thousand words. Her lips twitched to the side, her eyes thoughtful, the number echoing in her mind. “Twenty thousand words isn’t too hard,” she murmured, “from now until tomorrow. But proofreading will be the problem.” “I’ll do that,” Emilia offered gently. “While you type, I’ll help proofread and wipe out any errors—punctuation, grammar, all of it.”

I open the document. The word count at the bottom of the screen says 50,100 words. I stare at it. I am a person who has written fifty thousand one hundred words. I am a person who has written fifty thousand one hundred words while also being a person who got hit by a truck, and who fell in love with the man who saved her, and who is on TikTok, and who is on the news, and who just signed a piece of paper in an HR office with a man she is in love with.

This next chapter can be full of tension, suspense, and romantic intensity around 1,050 words. Do you want me to do that next?

I finally said, staring at her with every inch of annoyance in me. “How many hours are we going to take to read these books; it will take an eternity,” I growled, staring at how many books were right in front of me. “They are 50 books in total with 400 pages each. It will take us through the night if we read each book at a speed of 13 minutes. “You are crazy, Clara,” I said almost immediately while glaring at her. I mean, that's not even achievable, “that goal isn't realistic,” I finally voiced out while staring at her.

"No, you don't understand. I need you to TYPE two thousand copies." My jaw dropped. "Each paper must be fifty page long, Times New Romans, font size 11, 12, and so on. Keep increasing the font size for each paper and use a different font for each letter. I need it delivered unfailingly to me by the end of today." What?! "B... But Mr Winston. Sir!" He was sitting back at his seat now and focusing on his computer, paying me no heed. He.. he wanted me to TYPE TWO THOUSAND copies of the SAME 50 PAGED letter?!

He said checking his wrist watch. "Alright, how many pages?" "Just 50, not much yeah?" My jaw dropped. 50! And he's saying not much. "Very much." He looked at me from over his glasses. "I'll add five more pages, I need to get going. Bye!" He said as he stood up. "I'm sorry, it's not much at all, in fact very little." I frowned my face.
