Whatever works, and if you have the genuine readers, you can do whatever you want in terms of length! That’s the beauty of the online fiction 
I have been working my way through the second draft of the Lone Werewolf, including the new chapter. So far, 11 chapters are updated, and will continue working on it. I want a stronger soulmate vibe in the chapter I am on rn. So will need to work on that.
And... I got stalled on a chapter yesterday, but it’s behind me now! Yay! It makes for 20 updated parts! Yup! Slightly less that 25% in now.
Plus,I managed to squeeze in an update for Raised by the Mafia... dunno how. But my head is huuuurting from different characters and voice.
Oh boy sounds like a lot of work! Good job!
I'm currently editing another chapter. It's very tempting to blow through my backlog, but that's probably not a good idea, so I'll just chill out with my updates this month.
Yeah, one of the things I find with editing, is to not rush it. It’s so tempting to just hop, because a lot of it so clean... but my goal this year is to develop as an editor
It gives me a lot of Riverdale vibes and reminds me of a story I read on Wattpad long ago. Confessions About Colton. Which I really loved. Adding some more details to your blurb would help a lot, as things are quite vague this way. I'd also suggest a better opening line for the blurb to catch the reader's attention; something that really hooks them in. This is just a suggestion, but maybe start off with the killer or Marcello's brutal murder?
There's a serial killer in Wood Maple and Joseph Ronchetto plans to catch him.
The teenager's life is turned upside down when his childhood friend is found brutally murdered in his own home. Consumed with grief and anger, he sets out to find the culprit. (Something to add a little more emotion behind his friend's murder would help a lot here) I'll leave the rest to you, as it's your story and you can always tweak my suggestions if you'd like.
23 parts are now edited, with 60 to go... ouch! 3x as much as what I had done...
...dramatic pause...
Ouch!
Let's see ... doing some light editing on my story. Thoroughly enjoy reading it through after putting it on the back burner for a few months.
I was so annoyed how my stories always ended around 75K, not hitting Tapas 80K, now I am at 86K with Werewolf, and I am worried it will go to 100K with edits somehow.
My ONC also blew past 40K, when I thought, 25K if I am lucky...
I really have a bad handle on length.
Gosh, what a crazy week so far. Work is busy, writing is busy...
On the upside, I now have a 500 word synopsis for the Lone Werewolf, and am making a steady progress in the revisions. Alas, to apply for the mentorship with it in May, I will have to take it down from Tapas. I am sad, but well, it finished posting, so it doesn't get much reads per day, so maybe it's not a big deal. Maybe it's the right strategy, get a feel for how the story is recieved while posting, then just keep the story on the Wattpad as the main site for all my stories.
I have to ask, what is the point of the mentorship program? I looked into it and it's just to have another author go chapter by chapter through your book to prep for the Watty's? Yes? (The Watty's themselves I don't understand either.) I've found other sites that will give you decent feedback in exchange for you reading other people's work.
Checking in: I hired a professional beta reader! My project was making my head spin, so I'm super excited to get their feedback. Literally counting the days to the deadline for that sweet, sweet concrit 
I'm also only two more subscribers away from that first milestone of 25. Yay! 
OMG!
Hello everyone! It's been awhile!
I hope you're all doing well --it seems like you are!
I'm almost at 170k words. Honestly, stress from IRL kind of blocked me for over a month, but good things seem to be on their way, so hopefully I can keep churning out.
Was making revisions but stopped for a moment, because I realized what I actually wanted my style to be, and so now I have to go back and revise EVERYTHING. I'm excited though!
I also went into a hyperfocus one day and attempted to learn how to script, and I scripted the first episode of my book as if it were a show.
Anyway, nothing but love here and
SUPPORT GLITTER!
Scripting can be so much fun! Granted, my experience is only with theatrical productions and not comics, but it can be SO MUCH easier to do a story as a script than a full length story. I've been working on turning part 1 of my series into a script.
The sweet deal are the workshops. Basically you get 2 rounds of feedback on your 1st chapter (character voice), 500 words summary, Blurb and Logline/pitch. It's worth a LOT, particulary on the 500 words. In my experience, 500 words abslutely have to be read by someone else to help only get the main story and take out everything that only a writer can understand.
If you get a mentorship, you get a beta-read from a popular writer, so that's worth even more to me, because I struggle with writing books that appeal to others.
