3/3 If you have data on a book you love, I'd love to see it. Just approximate the counts, like estimated numbers of Kindle pages in a chapter will do.

Have you ever looked at a plot of chapter lengths in books? Some very interesting patterns. For example, in thrillers the pace quickens as chapters get shorter from start to end. Often non-random, in that short follows long and vice versa.

2/3 Sometimes you can see the acts in the patterns of lengths. Fascinating to think authors are controlling this 'meta-feature'...and likely they manage to do so purely out of intuition.
This. Is literary drama.

This is great advice for taking a fresh look at writing. For both substance and style - certainly helps in typo-catching.

As I write and rewrite and re-re-re-write, I change up the font and size with successive drafts to dupe my eyeballs into seeing what I’ve written in a fresh light. I highly recommend this polyamorous approach to typefaces. It’s terrifically useful.
