Just a little thing

I love it when books have obvious breaks in the middle of chapters. Like, a few extra lines or three stars or something. You know what I mean.

Why do I love them? Because it gives me a good place to stop reading where I can easily see where I stopped without being a chapter break. Because chapter endings almost always leave me on the edge of my seat wanting more. Half the time if I stopped 3 paragraphs before the end of the chapter I would be fine. But noooo... I always have to read those last 3 paragraphs and force myself to close the book, then spend the next several hours wondering what in the world is gonna happen.

I suppose authors are just smart that way.

Those little breaks are called a scene change.
