You shouldn't worry about word counts.

Just pick a single story beat you want to hit in your lore and write until you feel the story is told.

Everything else is secondary.

Exactly. Write the way you choose. People seem to be enjoying mine, though I've not added to it for a little due to life getting in the way. Have a look at the link in my sig. You'll see I write both longer and shorter pieces. 

I think the best advice I can give is similar to @Lathe Biosas and just write until you hit that point when either your story or chapter has hit the right note.

EDIT: Or don't. Looks like sigs don't show up in quotes, haha. Try this instead: The building uprising on Prawa V

I'd read your stuff

Write what you want If you have a longer story you cause always not publish it until you done or set it to publish at a later date so you can continue to write and edit. 

I tend to write my stories as a Chapter or mini chapter. It depends on my mood and my time available

I'm quite similar. As do many, I find it hardest to those first words out, so I write small vignettes, as I have been putting on here, then go back and tie them a together. 

@kabaakaba, this might work for you. Either way, I look forward having a read of your works.

If I may suggest, I am happy to do a little English proof-reading for you. No problem at all.

And, I may also suggest, not sure if you've read any of my blog, but I throw in some Danish and Silesian (Polish dialect) in there (mostly with context). Personally, I like to lean into my heritage. I think speaking another language, other than English, can help you come up with some great names for characters, items, landmarks, etc. And it's with precent. Look at the Mongols White Scars Space Marines.

Look at @Lathe Biosas's earlier comment. They have the right idea. :)
