scene breaks

My chapters don’t have scene breaks. I write in a deep POV & don’t switch within chapters, which tend to be relatively short, 1-2.5K each.

If there’s a location change that occurs within a chapter, then I write a brief transition paragraph that isn’t telling, but instead the characters’s thoughts transferring from one location to another.

I have breaks in my short stories & will use glyphs for my anthologies.

 @7b682b86 I can’t imagine having a chapter that’s only 1-2.5k words long. 🤣

(I take that back. The first chapter of Rise of Iron is only 1,100, which unusually short for me.)
