.:Finishing A Novel Guide:.~Getting Finished~
• This is the complimentary other half to my “Starting A Novel” guide. Lots of people tell you how to start books but don't give much info on how to finish them. Starting a project is really easy but sticking through it once you realize what all it takes to finish it, you might not stick around. Here’s hoping you do.

• CHAPTERS: When writing its best to just go and not stop until you run out of inspiration. Once you’re done with some wave of inspiration you can look back on the chunk of text you just wrote and separate it up into chapters if it’s long enough.
o Length: I notice a lot of books these days make chapters way WAY too long. It’s tedious and a bore, plus it’s harder to push through and be prolific if you’re already weeks into your book and think you’ve only finished two chapters. So! Your chapter should never exceed 6,000 words.

• BODY: Pick an outfit that looks good for their figure or maybe even a little awkward if that's how you want them to be seen. Some people have builds that make it difficult to find clothes and a lot of people don't look good in certain outfit types. Keep this in mind to either avoid said outfits for certain builds or draw them in it and have it look a bit weird. It’s realistic. People will either avoid certain styles that don't look good on them or wear it and be unaware or not care. BUT it’s not going to suddenly look good on them, and I feel that cartoonists often make this mistake due to
