Does my novel have to have any chapters?

Hi Jimmy

I like your preference, It's nice to have insight into what others like.

Still trying to see what will fit mine.

This is a question of personal style and preferences. Do whatever feels right for this novel.

Personally, I prefer for a novel to have not only chapters, but also chapters with titles. The former helps me keep my place, in case I've lost my bookmark. The latter makes this even easier... and helps to give each chapter its own character.

But that's just MY preference.
