Ooh, gotta find time to read that!!<BR/><BR/> I think pacing is an issue many writers wrestle with, especially in those middle sections of a book. Anyway, I do. Short, snappy sentences combined with some problem/monkey wrench speed things up. Internalizations and descriptions slow things down. I think dialogue speeds things up too.<BR/><BR/>Your examples were an inspiration to me and a good reminder that I need to do a better job in my wip!<BR/><BR/>Linda GoodnightLinda Goodnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180677262384855235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380441245670839923.post-55830907844734751472008-03-01T10:55:00.000-05:002008-03-01T10:55:00.000-05:00Great advice Margaret.

I still have trouble with cliffhanger endings so I really appreciate your help.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>PammerPammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01883119904346766083noreply@blogger.com
