: Re: When should a chapter end? When writing a novel, when should I end a chapter? Note that I'm not talking about chapter word-count (that topic was discussed here). I'm interested to know when

This is what I used when we starting building a writing software:
1. The concept of chapter is only used to split the book for the benefit of the reader.
2. When you write your book you split the book in scenes (the smallest unit) with a location, POV, MRU structure.
3. Every scenes is on average 900 words. At the end you might split it in chapter to have an equal number of scenes per chapter and also according to the meaning that a group of scenes have.
