Chapter Variations



Good Evening fellow writers and editors as well aspiring ones.  That includes students and those grammarians who remind us to refresh our grammar.

My topic reflects many who are in a similar dilemma.   For fiction authors, do some writers have variations of chapters?  For example some short and some really long chapters in their books?  It would seem the proper way to complete a complete duration of a character's current struggle that is consistent with the pace of the story.  If a book has say, 40 chapters, some are about twenty pages while some are forty.   I have read many books with a variety of numbers of chapters.  If there is a finale near the end,  some seem exceptionally long to wrap up he plots coming together.  They are concise and wrap up the story this way. My pondering thought for this great blog audience is I think it is logical to have a variety of long to short chapters throughout the book?  Do they have to be consistent?
