#WritersCoffeeClub Dec 20: Do you name or number chapters? If you name them, how do you decide on a name?
Broadly speaking, I name them in fantasy novels and number them in science fiction. Although in my most recent SF - Space Train (available) and Space Train 2 (publisher's editing queue) - I name chapters with locations. In my Wessex Mysteries WIPs with npub1z53s9xh569ts3cwmyn4vp89agalkysfsx5c5xlkt42xjga3xdyvs75s6p4 (npub1z53…s6p4) we're starting each chapter with an icon to represent its POV character and then a title that is the first few words of its text.
