he actually called divisions 'chapters' and then had numbered sections within each chapter???

i find that weird to the max, and can't imagine any editor sanctioning such a thing... but then, it is king.........

I do it sometimes, and I'm a king too...
Oh, you meant the -person-.
Hee hee hee.

Stephen King can get away with almost anything, or so it seems.
I think it'd be cool if we could get King, Rowling, and some of the other people we talk about here to join.

Yes, and I'm reading Wolves of the Calla now (Number 5) and he's still using that technique. I'm pretty sure that's the only time he's used it. I could be wrong (Maybe Desperation too, I'm trying to remember).

Yep, King did it, and so did Clive Barker in Weaveworld.

Clive Barker had a good reason to do it though. He would often switch character POV (since he had many characters, in many different locations), so separating the chapters into parts made it more organized.

Heh, in my books, I have it divided into parts, then chapters, and then parts within those chapters.

All my novels consist of about 11-14 pages in each chapter. I usually start off with a new POV or a different scenery, and because my novels are long I usually have about 20 chapters or so... I think everyone is a bit different, but for full length novels that is probably the easiest one to follow.
