A Curious Question...

How do you prefer to organize your chapters?

I ask because my brain is ticking over this.

Chapter 8 of TGC is short. I knew it was short (1,200 words or so) and I didn't care to make it longer, because that would be filling it with fluff. Originally it was merged with the previous 'wedding' chapter, but I separated them. Personally I like my chapters to be organized in 'full and complete thoughts' like one would an essay or dear god, a thesis... (I suck at cliffies for that very reason)

But a keen AFF reviewer challenged my thought process on this. I see her point, it's the same day. And it's good mental chew.

So I pose the eternal question, one that has probably been batted back and forth forevah:

How do you prefer to organize your chapters?

Yes, well I'm guilty of several 'it possessive and or plural' and 'laying/lie/lying' mistakes. But the attempt is made. Actually, what I mean is, I attempt to pay attention.

Wow. I sound like a horrible horrible snob. Ah the funny things that get up under our noses and put us in a right snit. When I do my reenacting I surround myself with plenty of people who are either too inauthentic or way over the top authentic... (like raise the sheep, clip the wool, card the wool, spin the wool, weave the cloth, dye the cloth, hand sew the garment...) Ach, tangent alert. sorry.

But venting is good.
