No joke. I can FEEL my pacing is too slow, but how to speed it up without losing the feeling I'm after has been the struggle. After reading your experience just now something clicked for me that I haven't thought of changing before. I guess that will be the key. Think outside the box and be willing to change things if they're not working.

That said, I don't have an agent, but pacing can be almost as tricky as voice sometimes. Like you, I tend to shorten/fragment sentences to speed up what's happening, even if the actual event is a snail race. It's definitely something readers can help you with though because sometimes it's darn near impossible to figure out if what's in you mind is being correctly conveyed. What seems fast might be a convoluted jumble of panicked motion and what you think are intriguing details might be causing reader-coma.Artemis Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849091563671031929noreply@blogger.com
