This is basically a follow-up question I asked here: [Scene switching and how to do it?](https://writing.stackexchange.com/questions/36308/scene-switching-and-how-to-do-it/) I always considered it normal for a chapter to have between 3000 and 5000 words. And people around here thought so too: [What is a normal length for a chapter?](https://writing.stackexchange.com/questions/41/what-is-a-normal-length-for-a-chapter)But the comments I got from my "Scene switching" question recommended way smaller amounts. I tried looking for a different approach which is read on here: [When should a chapter end?](https://writing.stackexchange.com/questions/1806/when-should-a-chapter-end)The answer I liked most was of "Lauren Ipsum". But it seems outdated? All this raises some questions. What is the deal with chapter sizes? How many should I use? Should I be consistent in sizing? Wouldn't variable sizing be annoying to readers?
