Hi, sorry for asking so many questions but how do you know when to end a chapter also how do you know when to end a book and where to begin? (Btw I love your books, you inspired me to become an author)!
Jennifer A. Nielsen
Every chapter has its own individual story arc. So it has its own conflict, the attempt my a character to resolve it, and maybe they do or maybe they don't. It has its own climactic moment, which will then create a new conflict for the next chapter. You want to begin where that new conflict begins, then end the chapter near the climax, creating a sort of cliffhanger that pushes the reader into the next chapter.

If I've already asked this question, then I apologize. When writing in first person, I find it easier to get inside the characters head, but harder to portray their personality. In The False Prince, Sage's personality is so strong and you can easily see the portrayal of his character to be witty and sarcastic. I love that. Any pointers to get the characters true personality out there while writing in first person? Thx
