I saw a shooting star this morning!

Little scratch of light, as I was looking to see if Orion was visible yet, over in the centre of the eastern sky - it ran south > north, as short as it was. I've usually got too much light pollution and humidity for sightings like that.

Anyway, I have a couple of writing questions for my Flisties who indulge yourselves thusly (i.e., most of you, I think).

1. When you sit down to write, how long do you write? I mean, do you have a set wordcount goal for each session, or do you just go with the flow? And if you flow, what do you average?

2. How do you define a chapter for yourself? How long do they usually run for you? (I can't help but to be reminded of the pathetic excuses for chapters that litter Fanfiction.net, where they're barely a single printed page's-worth with a threat to withhold in the author's notes.)

[looks to upper right, to upper left, on inside of eyelids] ...yeah, I think that's all. Just curious.

ETA: Tchah, I did forget something: [livejournal.com profile] copperbadge on the closing of Harry Potter canon. VERY well said.
