Find the right place to end this chapter. Propose three candidate break points. For each: - The exact sentence to end on - What question it leaves open - What the reader expects next, and whether the next chapter delivers it - How much material moves to the following chapter Then: 1. Your recommendation and why. 2. Whether the current ending is one of the candidates. 3. If the chapter should be split into two instead, say so. Rules: - *A good ending leaves a question, not an interruption.* Cutting mid-action is a cheap version that readers notice and resent on the second use. - Do not end on a reveal that the next chapter immediately deflates. - Do not write new material. Choose among what exists. - Note if the chapter has no natural break — that usually means it is doing two jobs.
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (Chapter · What comes next)
What this prompt does
Chapters end where a reader wants an answer, not where an event finishes. This offers candidate break points and compares what each leaves the reader wanting.
