My completed manuscript stands at 83,000 words and is divided into forty chapters. My average chapter length is about 2,000 words, that's six or seven pages. I do have shorter chapters and a few that are longer.

This is a good question, I've got this problem at the moment. I'm trying to aim for at least 3000 mark. But I find if I add more into the chapter then it won't fit in! And the story won't go at all.
I'm with Debbie, I aim for 3000-4000 but some are up to 5000 and some 2000
I try to aim for around 3000, but - like you - I have some that are shorter and some that are longer :)
