For those of us writing lengthy prose, I want to pose the question--What do you think about chapters?
I tend to read books straight through, so I don't notice chapters. This, unfortunately, means I have a hard time writing them. I know they serve a purpose, but what? You tell me.
Should they all be approximately the same length in a given work? Why do they exist at all? Should there be internal structure in a chapter? A cliffhanger ending? How do chapters function for readers?
