It really depends. Generally, a novel excerpt could be anywhere from a few paragraphs to a few chapters, but a common length is around 1,000 to 5,000 words to give a good sense of the story without revealing too much.

Well, there's no fixed rule. It often depends on the purpose of the excerpt. If it's for a preview or promotion, maybe 2,000 to 3,000 words is enough. But if it's for a literary critique or analysis, it could be longer, say 5,000 to 8,000 words to cover more aspects of the writing.

Excerpt of beautiful sentences, long

1 answer
2024-09-16 12:38

An example of a beautiful sentence is as follows: Life is a journey and love is the scenery along the way. True love is not about giving everything, but about making yourself a better person. Deep affection is not as good as long-term companionship. There is no need to say more. A smile, a greeting, a blessing, I wish you all the best. May you have someone to guide you when you are lost, someone to accompany you when you are tired, someone to talk to you when you are lonely, and someone to give you strength when you are helpless. May you be stronger, may you be braver. Life is like a dream, I hope you can smile at the wind, frost, rain and snow, smile at the ups and downs of life. Love is not possession but appreciation. When you fall in love with someone, you no longer desire his possession. Instead, you want him to be happy, you want him to be happy, you want him to be happy by your side, that is true love. May you work hard all your life, be loved all your life, have everything you want, and let go of everything you can't get. May you be treated gently by this world. May you be a boat that wanders on the sea of life, never forgetting your original intention to reach the other side of your dream. Life is in motion. May you never rest, be healthy, happy, and energetic.
