Not length wise, I mean time.
I started putting my story into perspective and thought about some of the menial tasks and events that happen in between chapters. MC finds something or performs a routine action, but do these get mentioned in the lengthier novels? Are they there to serve purpose as filler?
The more I thought about my story, the more I realized that the potential 250-300 pages will only transpire over.. 2/3 days. As a story about escape and rebellion where each chapter maybe consists of an hour of the day... is this okay? Does this happen very often? I haven't seen it very much myself but I'm not very well read to be honest.
What about you? How long is your story?
