I have heard that too but I would rather edit my own shit so I can get it how I want it. I paid for an editor once and they “improved” it but completely changed my style. Hated it. I think that if you have your own voice and want it to sound a certain way then you should trust your gut. If you’re writing a non fiction business book or the next Dan brown type of novel then yeah, maybe get an editor.
As far as length, again I think that if it’s good, it should be as long as possible. I know people who won’t buy a book under 300 pages because if it’s good they won’t want it to end. People would always tell me on here that my shit was too long, that I should break them up into smaller articles but I don’t write for them. I have no problem sitting and reading something for fifteen minutes and honestly it confuses me to think that some people actually don’t have the patience to read anymore.
That’s fine and there is plenty out there for them to read. I’ve written comments on posts that are longer than most people’s posts. And beyond that, I’ve noticed that the longer my articles get, the more motivated I am to make them better. Very satisfying to write this one for example because I believe that it’s fucking amazing. And if it’s fucking amazing, I’d rather it be 7k words than 700
