Ok, I have no problem with chapter length and honestly it would read a lot better longer I think rather than cut into sections that may affect how well I remember what happened when I pick it up again. ChatGPT for research? Ok, but did you check it for veracity? Chat GPT makes shit up. (Horn windows do sound cool and a quick Google revealed a neat book on Medieval life and that they were used through the 18th century!)

I know that, but here's the thing, if the story takes place in the 5th century, who's gonna call me on it except some professor in some university. I'll just say: "It's okay, I'm a writer. I've got poetic licence!"

Poetic license gets us out of a Lot of things!

I'm glad you weighed in on it, because I was thinking the same thing. Since the 2nd part's going behind the Paywall, I was thinking I'd put up the entire chapter, except the first chapter of Part Three. That's divided into ten sub-chapters! Hopefully I'll be able to get this all finished by Christmas. I'd love to start next year with a win!

Sounds good. Also sounds like that 10 parter is built that way. I’m thinking of starting in blocks of chapters for my book 2, which I guess means I don’t have to do multiple posts!
