The question of how much and what type of description to include has been a big one for me as there are so many different ways to address each situation. Your comments make good sense. Thanks!

This is something I should known, but don't always remember. So often my first page is just a warm-up and I end up having to cut and rearrange. You are so helpful to those of us trying to get by on instinct! Thanks! This is something I should known, but don’t always remember.

I struggle with those last paragraphs. This will help me to remember to make them cliff0hangers or open doors, I hope. Thanks. Jean Great analogy. I struggle with those last paragraphs.

It's always the last paragraphs that carry the tension into the next chapter and the first paragraph of the next chapter just carries the tension or creates new tension in a new character or scene.

Another slam-dunk/got-to-the-helpul-facts post, Mary.
