Read on to learn all about the 5th of May and why we find it to be such a cause for celebration. 1. Cinco de Mayo is not a celebration of Mexicoâs Independence (which is actually September 16th), but rather a celebration of Mexicoâs victory in the battle at Puebla on May 5th, 1862 during the Franco-Mexican war. It was an unlikely win for the Mexican militia who were heavily outnumbered by the French.
The number of words in a novel will vary depending on the genre. A young-adult novel will run between 20,000 and 40,000 words. That would be the length of a novella in mainstream fiction. Many genres seem to have succumbed to supersizing. A mass-market western, mystery or SF novel used to run to 60,000-70,000 words.
Hey, Iâm 14 on my first novel with an average of 2500-3000 words per chapter, it is a sci-fi fiction book set in a world unlike our own, different culture with an ancient language that many may not understand so Iâll have to have a small dictionary at the back. It will hopefully be finished by the end of school year.ops. The chapters in my YA fiction are 7,000-8,000 words long :/ The last books I read before finalizing the setup had very long chapters and thatâs how I calculated the length of chapters. There are several scenes in each chapter, so itâs downsize-able.
