Re: Chapter Length.

Some of you people here mention the structure of your chapter(s), something like ending chapter as the scene ends. So, many of you write chapters that consist some action, one scene.

But is there anyone that has 2 or more "storylines" (although one is main, of course) in the same chapter? Like, more main characters, and more points of view (each NPC in my book has it's own point of view). But, unlike G. R. R. Martin's ASoIaF, I have more "parts of the same chapter" (you know, 'in the meantime', separated with symbols '* * *') and more scenes in one chapter. Okay, it is logical, for my chapters are long.

How do you guys (who write similar type of chapters) separate the action, begin and end those separated "parts of the chapters" and its' actions/scenes?
