You can end a chapter in one of three ways.

The turn - a change of emotion that turns the preceding mood on its head - example. A chapter about the sadness of a funeral that ends in a couple of kids laughing. (This is the most common, especially among script-writing).

The hang - A piece of information that will be revealed later in the novel - example. She would find out why she had this premonition when she grew old.

The sequence - Not to be confused with the hang, but an issue that will be picked right up in the next chapter. Chapter 2 (ending) - She wasn't sure if she would pick up the flower, but she doubted it. Chapter 3 (beginning) - the rose felt like rough silt between her fingers.

Ending a chapter is key to writing a novel.

@freemo If you ain't cav, you ain't shit

we are born poets
before we try
a lisp
a limp
laughed at in school
an overbite

something wrong
else not exactly right
compels us
so some try
to put it right

through words
at kitchen sink
‘neath gas station bulbs
fluorescent bright
at home
in love and in bed
when older
late at night

letters bright

watch grow these
columns of words
something a bit off
exactly right

the world
snarls and rears
else purrs and tells
but neither is
quite right

all of us know it
are poets
recite it
washing dishes
before we die
