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?

Don't change your style to suit one disgruntled reader. Before you know it, you're writing their story, not yours. I think you're doing a fantastic job so far. You are all the rage on LJ, and a more discriminating group of readers you'll not find. You update frequently, so the continuation of the same day in the next chapter isn't an issue, IMHO.
