Episode Notes

Chapters can seem like a mysterious thing, especially to new authors, and it’s easy to get hung up on what they are and how to use them. In this episode, I try to demystify chapters, and also explain why you almost certainly shouldn’t care about them at all while you’re planning and writing your novel.
