Hi Alan,
I hope not, my chapters are of various lengths from 3 to 14 pages. I
even had a 1 page chapter but then decided it belonged in another
chapter.

I think quality is more important then chapter sizes. Say what needs
to be said, and don't worry how long or short it takes.

What do other people think?

Helene.
