prophet224:
I have to agree that the chapters will end where they end.  There are some books out there about structure, for instance discussing 'scenes' and 'sequels' and the like (scenes are the action, sequels are the scenes of reflection or pauses amidst the action).  Each scene has a certain job to do and when it is done its job, it should go away. Similarly, each chapter will be focused on certain things and where there is a significant break in thought, change the chapter.

I do find, also, that my earlier chapters are shorter and focus more on one character or set of characters at a time, while later chapters start to group more together.
