Okay, question.
How long should chapters be for YA? Does anyone know this? I talked to one writer who said the normal chapter is at least ten pages long, but that seemed kinda long to me. She writes sci-fi/fantasy, so I thought maybe chapters in those genres are longer. Any ideas for the length of chapters?
Also, I never divide my books up by chapters as I'm writing them, I wait until later. Is this a bad thing?
So I guess my questions are
1. How long are you chapters?
2. What genre are you writing?
and 3. Do you write chapter-by-chapter, or wait until the story is done to divide it up?
