Louise Dean's Blog, page 5
Whatever genre you’re writing in, the pace at which your story moves is incredibly important. In fact, pacing isn’t just for novels; if you’re working on a short story, a screenplay, a musical, or any other kind of story (or indeed creative nonfiction!), you’ll want to know how to control the pace, mete out the tension, and sprinkle the reveals and twists.
Pacing isn’t only for the action-packed story
Pause for a moment to think of novels you consider well-paced. Is it the fast-paced ones that come to mind? You might notice a rapid pace more, but most stories (or probably allstories!) have been carefully constructed with pacing in mind. Often, it’s the variety and contrast that’s really effective.
And to switch up the pace, a story doesn’t need a traditional action scene. Even the most contemplative literary novel will likely have some passages that move at a faster pace. Simple things like switching from passive to active voice, deviating from your main storyline to a subplot, or zeroing in on characters’ actions allow writers to vary their pacing.
Learn about pacing
Whether you’re focused on a single story you’re whipping into shape, or keen to learn about pacing more generally, this blog post is filled with wisdom that can help you.
