Decide on the average chapter length! Consistent chapter length makes for more consistent pacing."ALT"Time for math!" the next speech bubble reads. "2. Consider your book goal, then divide that by the chapter length. That gives you a chapter goal! Example, want to write a 50,000 word novel with a 3,000 word chapter length? That's about 17 chapters!"ALT"Almost there!" the next speech bubble says. "3. Now that you know how many chapters you have, consider the flow of your story. How would you tell this story with only that many chapters?"ALT"Last step!" the speech bubble says. "4. With the flow of your story in mind, start dropping events into the timeline! Index cards are great for this. Fill the blanks in the story or get writing!"The final text in the image reads "That's it! You did it!"ALT
