Hey, writer friends, is 1150 words a good chapter length?

@terrana It's up to the writer, really. Personally I'm in a boat of "pure length agnostic, as long as it fits a complete, well, chapter." One paragraph is fine as a chapter as long as it stands on its own.

@Facet Hm, good answer! I just ended the chapter when it felt like it was time to end it and only counted the words afterwards, so it sounds like I did that right.

@terrana @Facet I would second Facet's advice here. Chapters should be as long or as short as they need to be.
