Specifically that I've had issues where I don't get much done in my chapters and that's likely a result of me formerly not writing more than a 1,000 words at a time with 2,000 usually being the best I could put out at one time. I still have pacing issues every now and then, but now 3,000 words is close to the normal chapter I put out. For comparison between a story I did two years ago and a story that I have currently ongoing. Mind you the first chapter I did for my new story was a 900 word prologue that gave explanation as to how a crossover event happened after the fact, intentionally made to be short. There's a large difference in between and I think personally much better content. It's a drastic improvement compared to what I think used to be trash.
