**Short answer: break where it makes sense.** Some points at which breaks are traditionally made or ways to define breaks include: - change of site, the place the action is taking place changes. - change in POV character, someone different starts telling the narrative. - change in auxiliary characters, the people the narrator is interacting with changes. The actual length of any given section of the story isn't that important as long as the break points make sense, some chapters may be longer or shorter and chapters may extend or shorten as the narrative progresses. Unless you're looking at a subgenre like the 50 word story then word count, whether as a whole or any particular division, shouldn't be a primary concern—telling the story is the main thing.
