Hello! As the title of this thread says, how do you guys name your chapters?
Do you simply title them as Chapter 1, 2, 3 and so forth? Or do you summarise the particular chapter into 1 or 4 more words(or even longer)?
Initially I just numbered the chapters, but then I thought to give readers a "sneak preview" of what the chapter would be like with a two word description, so I changed it.
And then I changed it by still giving word description, but categorising them under the "quest" they are currently on it, essentially my chapters are titled by the number/type of quests my party is handling. Basically,
Pearls Beyond (the quest that 2 of my characters are in)
Beast Within (the quest that 3 of my other characters are in)
Beast Within
Pearls Beyond
Pearls Beyond
(I cycle each characters' POV per chapter)
I was satisfied with it, until lately when I realise by restricting a naming of a chapter to a quest does not make sense sometimes when one of my characters, who is in Pearls Beyond Quest(chapter), is doing a subquest of his own.
So should I revert back to just numerical titling of chapters? Or a summarised description of each chapter would be better? Or any suggestions/advice?
