Writing advice?

Hey all! 

Ive been writing a book and Im only 3 chapters in, but I feel like the character's maturity is progressing too fast? Like the main character arc is going faster than planned, im practically a quarter way through and I want the book to be atleast more than 20 chapters in total. 

I've been working on this for literally years, so I'm pretty hesitant about changing anything in the three chapters Ive gotten done, but at the same time, I want to do this right. And that includes pacing. 

Any tips for how I can fix this? Im not expecting miracles but even a little support would be appreciated xD

Fair play to you for making a dream a reality 

And putting the work in.

You should be so proud of what you've already done up to this point.

It might help to sit back and reflect and brainstorm.

Get a change of scenery to give your mind time to just be inspired 

I am wishing you the best with this 💚

my advice would be to put down and write every milestone you think your characters are goign to hit like establih the character arc first and the conflicts and what is going to make them grow and then expand.  what  mean is your characters aren't goingto go from pont A to B suddenly. you'll know the destination an then you'll add more stops in between, if that makes sense?
