I am new to this board, but I've finally finished enough writing to discuss with others writing and progress.

Everyone please post your current projects and issues you are having while writing through them.

Post below a few paragraphs that you want review on and/or examples of your writing.

the problem I'm having is if my pacing is to fast or not fleshed out enough, because I have a slightly anthology structure to my chapters and it's not recommended for first novels to be too lengthy, most are between 250-300 pages, I don't want to have the stories too condenses but also want to write the appropriate amount for those chapters.

Is anyone else concerned about this type of issue?
