How Many Words Should A Novel Synopsis Be 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.

"Oh. Uh, sure. I can spare a few minutes, I think." His grin widens. Collins holds the door open for me, giving me plenty of space to walk through without brushing past him. "I wrote down character profiles for a few new characters that I'd love to include in the story, ones that I put aside as rejects but now, I'm having second thoughts." "How many are you looking to include?" "About five or six." He turns to smile at me. "What do you think?" "Depending on the movie runtime, we should be able to make that work."

’ ‘I don’t know,’ I look at the clock at the lower right side of my laptop. An hour have already passed. I stretched my arms upward and widely opened my mouth to inhale deeply with tiredness. ‘Hey Irina, how many word count per article do you make?’ ‘It depends, minimum of 5,000 words.’ ‘You are kidding.’ ‘Hey Abbie, maybe we should talk later.’ I said. ‘I’ll just quickly grab some food from the fridge.’ ‘Sure, and I will run the washing machine with my laundry.’

My fingers were cramping, my thesaurus was smoking, and I kept picturing my editor sending me an email with only one word: "Seriously?" I realized: I should just end it here, gloriously, before I completely lose my mind, break my keyboard, and start writing about the wallpaper pattern instead. Speaking of losing my mind... I pulled out my notes the other day. When I started outlining this story and figuring out the twists and turns, I came up with almost 60... maybe 50-something... different plot points and outlines just to keep the momentum going. Sixty! Fifty! I lost count! That's how dedicated I was to not making this story boring. That’s like a novella’s worth of rejected ideas!

But sometimes, it's depressing to think I cant never be enough for this field. I leaned on my chair and stared at the ceiling as I clicked the last word of the draft. I don't know if I should continue this. I don't have a proper outline and I can only write a thousand words per chapter which is unusual of me because I usually write three to four thousand words per chapter. I just couldn't find the write words to exprss how I feel. Or maybe, no words could define the thoughts I want to substantiate.

Let me read what changes to her plot. An hour later, I finish reading her story, and it's good. It piques my attention. She has already fixed her grammar and other error. Should I challenge her a bit? I want her to be the best before she marries me. So I will tell her that it's good and I'll rechallenge her to a new plot. Let's me see what kind of plot I should give to her? Angsty romance? No, it doesn't suit her. I know now! Since she is a model, let's make it more interesting. I'll give her the plot to turn into a novel with 60k words that contain two thousand words per chapter.

My thinking is that I add an authors note a the end of 'book' 1 so to speak and re-write the synopsis to advise any new readers that it will be 2 books in one. Alternatively, the other idea I had was to just have a longer book, but I don't want the length to scare off new readers. Thanks in advance! :)

"Still thinking? I brought this up three months ago. You said you'd consider it, and I've given you time, but now it's been months and you still haven't given me a clear answer." Mindy frowned. "We've worked together for years. You know I write short to mid-length suspense thriller novels, about 200,000 to 300,000 words. Now you want me to switch to writing web novels, which just doesn't fit my style!" "But aren't they all novels? How can they not fit? Literature is universal; there's no such thing as a mismatch!" Edith's tone became more serious, and her smile disappeared. Mindy said, "First, web novels are usually really long, often over a million words. Second, genres like urban romance a

I wish I could respond to the comments here on GoodNovel, but that is not a feature that is easily accessible for authors on the desktop. This chapter is a little over 1500 words on my end so I believe it will become 2 when it updates. As I get closer tothe end of the book, I am going back to clarify things for continuity. If you catch something...And I know you will, this story is over 550k words when it was originally supposed to be like 80k TOTAL LOL. Please let me know on my Face. Book page under my author name. I get and check those messages, and respond, more regularly.

Elysia asked, shutting the laptop, then she took off her glasses, returning it to the case. It was only meant for laptops and phones anyway. “Did he do something?” She pressed, leaning in. “No, it's just about the review he gave us,” Calvin raised one of the papers above his head, letting out a disappointed sigh. “I feel like things might have been different had it been it was you who went through Jennifer's chapters.” “Then what would have happened?” Elysia spread her hands, inhaling sharply. “I don't understand.” “Did I tell you about how I reviewed about two hundred thousand words in one week?” He asked, nodding rhythmically after he saw Elysia's mouth open slightly, the undeniable shocke
