Gentle Pacing

[Story_Marc]

I'm going to be a bit blunt here and say most webnovels suck at pacing. I often run into plot driven writing that could do with knowing more on how to slow the plot, especially with dialogue writing and exploring characters. So I put this together as an overview, but I feel much more I'll need to delve into in the future, especially with dialogue.

I love the pacing and atmosphere of Frieren. It makes what happens later feel so much better.

Thanks for the video!

Hahaha, ha...

My first arc was supposed to be like three chapters. It took just under 100k words, and only partially met the requirements to really call it 'complete'.

If you want help with 'gentle pacing', my mere existence will make things easier for you.

You're not the first I've seen that with! I ran into someone else who wrote things like DnD, leading to many pacing and plotting issues. It was a pain to help them clean up. -.- Though I feel there's much more I can expand on this with relation to plotting, to get that proper balance.

It's part of why I realized today I need to discuss plot shapes far more. I'll do that on Friday a little.

I like to call them Chekhov's firing line (cope)
