    For those of you who think all caps is excessive, I know a guy whose kid is in 10th grade (high school) who's in the Cambridge program (pretty sure it's some sort of extra credit thing and/or tuition program), which is endorsed by THE Cambridge University in Europe (not sure which country) and for his General Paper (essay class) midterm (very important exam, comes halfway through the year) wants 600-700 words.

    2/3rds of my chapter. Apparently they straight-up won't grade anything past 700 words. Therefore, my chapter is too long for exam graders from CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. By a wide margin. I pulled up the calculator and my chapter is 40.57% larger than a 10th grade extra-credit special course essay. I would like to stress that I have even MORE chapters that are similar in length. Holy shit.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but 1000 words is not very long for a chapter. :P That's about 3 pages in a average-sized paperback novel.

    Consider the following; I have 2-3 more chapters of similar sizes, plus at least 5 that are likely over 667 words, which comes out to roughly 19 pages. Thats for one (1) storyline.
    I have two other storylines which are probably 10-15 pages each.
    I have finished none of them.
    Therefore, it is only logical to assume that I am, as they say, balling.
