Question of the day part 10

I know a lot of us post as we write, but this question more applies to stories you're keeping to yourself. Have you ever gone back and restructured a story to change where the chapter breaks are?
It's kind of a weird question, but I'm thinking of doing that now because as I'm writing I'm finding some of my chapters seeming too short and like there's not enough happening in them.
I guess another question to ask is, how do you decide where to end and how to begin a chapter?
--- End quote ---
I've gone back and rewritten a story but I never went back and changed where the chapter breaks were. When I start writing a chapter, I usually know from the start where I want to end it and how, usually with a sort of cliffhanger.
My chapters are usually really really long (aside Love Story, but that because it was due to the particular type of story that required 500 words each chapter), the averare is like 10 pages and that's because I want to tell everything that it's gonna to happen.
My problem is always with the beginning of a chapter. I always leave it as the last part to write and I never know how to start it.

I think I just might. I have been looking for a canon fic to write to bring me out of my slump. This may do the trick!

Go, Tracy! I'd love to read it!

I'm just deciding whether I want to go old school or new school ;)
