Generally, 500 words are usual per printed page and font, etc. You can tell a story in a paragraph or in millions of words. I don't think quantifiable information is always useful unless you're authoring formulaic content. What advice were you looking for in particular? Pacing, editing, and proofreading all matter. Every reader is different so their particular advice isn't always helpful.

I am reminded of Hemingway's entry in a six word short story competition: "For sale, baby shoes, never worn".
