What do you, the writer, think? You are calling the shots here. My advise is: start writing. If you think your chapter will improve by splitting it up in two: go for it. If not, make it one chapter. Your beta maybe also give you some advice.WarpGirl wrote:OK I have a status report, I had the first five pages of chapter five written and I had to delete them. They were just not working. So now I have a sea of blank. I also have an outline of the chapter but I look at it and say "Can I seriously write this all in one chapter?" The problem is I'm afraid that if I don't, people will think the pace is too slow. And before anyone asks, YES everything in the outline has to happen. The question is one chapter or more? I can't write chapter five until I figure that out.

Compared to many other languagees English is fairly esy to learn. When you get a language with three articles and their endings it can be hard. In german you can put the verb amned near any where you want. Finnish has about 600 dase endings. I have fought for some time against gender in english. There should be none taught. Don't get me started on Nomitive, accusitive, etc.In german Gender detrmines endings and the articles take Gender. Not in English.True English can drive one nuts with the fact that a word can be spelled the same way and have so many differnt meanings.

We have 4 cases for each noun in German. Nominativ, Genitiv, Dativ and Accusativ. The Russians have 6 casesfor each noun.

There are going to be cries, and shouts, and some cringing (especially for what happened to Disruption, that is... well, disrupted and because everybody knows I'm quite slow writing) but the truth is that Mirage will have around 30 or 35 chapters? And it is just... Book 1.
There are 6 more (at least).
