The FAST was developed in the UK in 1998 by a group of stroke physicians, ambulance personnel, and an emergency room physician and was designed to be an integral part of a training package for ambulance staff.
âAnonymous. There are no hard-and-fast rules on how long or short a chapter needs to be. It could be three pages. It could be 22. It could be 40. You shouldnât set manuscript guidelines for yourself on chapter length.
I agree that page length is a poor determining factor for a chapterâs ending (although 50 page chapters do tend to become cumbersome!) Another way of determining chapter length is to use the scene-sequel-scene (or sequel-scene-sequel) approach.
