Sounds Good! 

Two from yesterday:
After “thoroughly,” the phone suggested “lubed.”
It tried to turn “steel-toed boots” into “steel-like hardness.”

Need more…..

And he’s hardworking. Did you know that fava beans have to be peeled individually?

The difference in time commitment alone is substantial.

Oh, it does. Except there’s only two ladies. And they’re not so much dancing as...

Hey, I don’t judge. *goes back to watching DisneyXD*

So the story had better include nine ladies dancing, right?

Well, they say one in six children born is Chinese. Any chance your kid is one of them?

Or, 357 days early.

Exactly what the previous generation said about us.

No – I needed to make them party harder. And I am.

They partied too hard and need a week to recover? Seriously, best of luck with the holiday tale.

Happy birthday, BW! Of all the siterunners out there, you are truly one of the greats.

Don’t worry, both Hate and Suffering won’t join Riley’s cast of emotions until she gets to high school.

She’s with Comfort now? Geesh, that Joy really does get around! I mean, first she’s with Fear, then Anger…
Omigosh! She’s becoming a Sith!

Aw, delay due to standards of excellence?   

Man, that sucks. They’re probably comfortable continuing to scam people, knowing that no one can afford to sue them for the amounts they have lost.

DP’s response is right on the money. I would add that a chapter should finish at a place that feels like a natural break in the story but that also whets the reader’s appetite for more. So the length of the chapter ought to be determined, in part, by how long it takes to reach such a point.

It both does and doesn’t matter.  In the end, it down to how much you wish to convey in a chapter to make your point.  Onthe pragmatic, a really long chapter takes longer for the reader, and details might clutter; but a really short chapter might not have the depth you’re desiring (and readers constantly having to click for the next one).  For each of my stories, I’ve got numbers in my head, a range, that if I’m too low or too high, I evaluate what I’m trying to do with the chapter, then decide to cut/add material, or merge/split chapters.  More often, its on the high side and I’m splitting chapters.

In this era it’s probably best to leave it alone, lest you be summoned to Trump Tower and offered a cabinet position. (“I read your story and now my dick, it’s huuuge!”)
Too bad though, as we could start a Special Presidential Library including your story and my old lemon fanfic about Bill Clinton and Fluttershy.
