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.
My chapters generally run 1,500-2,000 words. At 250 words per page (using Times Roman 12 and one-inch margins), that means theyâre usually six to eight pages long. Sometimes, however, I incorporate more than one scene in a chapter and thus the number may double.
