My first chapter in my novel is only ten pages is that too short? Can a chapter even be too short or is it in the eye of the beholder?

I have recently asked the same question (writing.stackexchange.com/questions/36349/…). I have seen chapters of just a single word! And also seen stories without any chapters at all. I would say the sizing needs to feel natural.– Totumus MaximusAug 23, 2018 at 8:25

As a teacher of mine once answered the class on an essay length (and this was intended for teenage boys, so forgive the crassness), writing anything is like a girl's skirt: It should be long enough to cover everything, but short enough to keep it interesting.– hszmvAug 23, 2018 at 14:04
