The length of a chapter is not determined by the number of paragraphs. bit by the length it takes to tell the events that happen in that chapter. one chapter may be only a couple of pages long, while another may ran 20 or 30 pages. Because the event(s) that need to be told in each chapter various in length.Instead of thinking about the number of chapters or paragraphs, concentrate on the story you want to tell. Construct each "chapter" to fit what needs to be told. Buy more attention to giving details and developing dialogue, color and emotion in your writings. The length will take care of itself.Often writers are paid "by the word." So to make your writing is "longer" is often a goal. But you want to do it by improving your story, giving more details and color, and not just by adding words.If you are a new writer, so NOT start by writing a book. You are unlikely to succeedBegin by writing a single scene from a book/story. Set the scene aside for a couple of days and then come back and re-read it. See what additional details you can add. Can you improve the dialogue? Do you even have any dialogue? Can you add more "setting" or scenery" to the section? Do you need to add more? Does writer know the emotions that your characters are expressing? Edit the scene and set it aside for a couple more days.Then come back and totally re-write the scene. Find a different way to express and describe what happens in your story. THis will help to build your vocabulary, make you think more about how explain things, help you develop more color in your phrases. etc.Set it aside, work on another scene for a week or tow, and then come back and edit it again.That will help you to learn HOW to write and HOW to tell the story.Once you have learned that, knowing how many paragraphs and how many chapters is easy. As many as you need to tell your story....
