Writing paragraphs seems like an easy thing to do, but here are some tips to help the flow of your story and make it easy for you're readers to follow.
Always start a new paragraph when:
A different character speaks
A new event happens
The location changes
Someone enters or exits the scene
Time skip- forward or back, your choice
Your POV changes
Don't make paragraphs too long. I've seen paragraphs which are an entire page long- looking at a large chunk of text makes it feel daunting, which isn't something you want for your readers.
Go through and see where your focus changes- are you describing one part of a location, and then another? New paragraph. In the midst of a battle and your protagonist takes a moment to observe the scene after a one on one fight? New paragraph.
You can also use a new paragraph for dramatic effect. If you want to put emphasis on a certain sentence or action, use it as a paragraph on its own to hit home the importance, or raise tension.
It's up to you.
Happy writing.
