great share OP, thanks! this is typical of writers. the author went about, from thought to thought, without giving a real practical advice. i guess, this style of teaching resonates with some people. but it somewhat saddens me. a single practical thing stood out for me. that everything from the beginning of the story leading to a particular ending. that, and the story of the missing page. now, i am surprised the most…

Generally, 500 words are usual per printed page and font, etc. You can tell a story in a paragraph or in millions of words. I don't think quantifiable information is always useful unless you're authoring formulaic content. What advice were you looking for in particular? Pacing, editing, and proofreading all matter. Every reader is different so their particular advice isn't always helpful.
