Are chapter titles and/or chapter summaries things that people pay attention to? I don’t, but I am decidedly not everyone, so I thought I’d ask. If I did do chapter titles, they’d pretty definitely be descriptive rather than actual, proper titles. Basically 'In which thus and so happens.'

Of course, I kind of associate the 'In which thus and so happens' titles with, of all things, Winnie-the-Pooh.

I’m kind of cat waxing just now because I need to stay up another forty five minutes to an hour and am kind of falling asleep. I’m not focused enough to write or to do anything else productive that requires mental focus (I did gather up the trash so that I can take it out tomorrow. I suppose I could kill three minutes by putting dishes into the dishwasher, but I normally do that while my tea steeps in the morning).

I don’t know… Maybe I’ll just play Fluid Monkey on my phone for a while. Coming up with chapter titles for all of my chaptered WIP seems excessive. Maybe just for Rheotaxis.

I don't want a whole summary, but I do like titles if the author feels like it; witty titles frame the chapter, or give foreshadowing, or other things that I like in a narrative. Not having them is not a deal breaker, though... They just enhance the reading experience.
