Pacing as a Dam
- Control story pacing by acting like a dam, regulating the plot's flow.
- This prevents a story from becoming stagnant or overly dramatic.
Length and Momentum
- Use short scenes, chapters, sentences, and dialogue for intensity and speed.
- Conversely, longer elements create a sense of place and time.
Building Tension
- Condense everything as the story approaches tense scenes.
- Limit scenes to 500-800 words, use shorter scenes at key moments, and switch POVs.
