I will tweet some highlights from @KayKenyon & #39;s class on pacing this morning with the hashtag #paceyourself

We always start by talking about what has brought ppl to the class. Lots of good ?s today - ht deal with mooshy middles, moving from story to novel, ht skip the draggy bits & not rush over the good stuff, what ppl mean when they say "pacing is off" #paceyourself

Pacing is the speed at which the story unfolds to the reader. #paceyourself

While often we& #39;re talking about how to speed pace up, some scenes do demand slowness. The thing is that most people tend to write slow by nature. #paceyourself

When a story gets slow to the point that it is boring, the reader starts to doubt there actually is a story. #paceyourself
