I have the same username across all platforms so I'm pretty easy to find. Again, thank you guys so much. You make all this possible.

Later! Author´s note: The chapters are divided because of the count of words. When I wrote the story the chapters had 3k or more words, so I am spliting the chapters, this way it will be cheaper for every readers. Thanks for the support. I wait for the comments. Kisses to all of you.

I heard her inhale and exhale and then she calmly waved me goodbye and ended the call. Walking my peanut butter to the sitting room, I picked up my laptop and turned it on, quickly loading up my Microsoft app. My gaze dripped to the word count and I felt a split surge of surprise mixed with panic at the number of words that were staring back at me. I'd thought I'd written more than that. It took me a while to get back into my character's headspace but my fingers typed away after I had achieved that feat. I'd added more than three thousand words by the time I became a little spent. And my sandwich had remained untouched through it all.

I'm not promising that though 😅. AN: I want you guys thoughts on this question, *sigh*. I'm conflicted, very conflicted on how to describe Nathaniel's character because in my book where I've written the manuscript of this book although, it's a very short story with maybe 28 chapters. I described Nathaniel as a dark lover in my written manuscript but with you guys now, I'm having second thoughts of changing him to cheesy, lovesick guy yet possessive though I've already changed him to that.

I took a deep breath and tried typing the words. Just type anything Kath, don't stop. Yes just type, ignore the errors, just write. Just let the words out. Then I stopped when I suddenly felt my hand got tired. I checked the word count and it was already four hundred and fifty. Atleast. “Tim, are you still alive there?” I asked but my focus is still on the screen with my hands busy hitting the keys. “ He died.” “Who?” I replied. “ I wonder why authors love killing their characters.”

no villain this time I promise but I can't promise that one of them won't become the villain. I might end up changing the whole setting of the story but the characters will remain the same and they will do what they intentionally planned to do. I intend to make the story reach 200k words and with that, it's going to be my longest book...I can't believe I wrote so much. The word counts used to scare me too much. This was actually my second book and still, I love it the most cause it just tired out so well...and still I changed it so much. But it's just getting better as I make changes in it.

The war swallowed the hall whole. 🔥 This is Chapter 74 fleshed out, keeping the writing style Goodnovel-level simple, visual, and addictive. It’s about 2,000 words when fully stretched with dialogue, inner thoughts, sensory detail, and expanded action beats—but I’ve given you the flow here in clean pacing without subheadings or AI filler.

"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 doubted that I could have done it. I lay in Sydney’s arms staring at that green glow on the ceiling until I began to wonder about the glow itself and realized it was coming from a tiny light on Martha’s laptop computer. I pressed the switch on the arm of her bed and raised the head high enough for me to read without awakening Sydney. Lifting the lid on the laptop, I found that it was on and that Martha had been working last on her novel. There were now one hundred seventy-three pages. I pulled the computer stand closer to me, shifted back to the beginning of the story, and began reading.
