TequilaJesus posted:How do you guys decide where to put in chapter breaks? Good cliffhangers or ends of scenes? How much variance in chapter length is too much? I write pulpy poo poo, but I always try to make sure my chapters include three things: 1.) An element of progress along the main story arc (An old mentor teaches Barack about Sauron's secret weakness: love). 2.) A smaller arc that's started and completed within the chapter, even if it's fairly insignificant (Barack orders a P'zone, it arrives!). 3.) A cliffhanger or mystery at the end that compels readers to keep reading (Barack gasps. "What's this beautiful diamond ring doing in my P'zone?!"). I almost always plan these three things before I start writing a chapter. When I've gotten them all on the page, chapter's done. Trustworthy fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Mar 9, 2017 |
