Episode Four: Pacing

Two writers with slow-burn allegations spill everything they know about pacing--and they do promise it doesn’t lag in the middle. Mer and Bri discuss the somewhat nebulous concept of pace, while also offering tips—like using multiple POVs—to keep the narrative arc moving.
Their worldviews get slightly rocked when it’s revealed one of them likes writing toward the mid-point of the book instead of the ending, while their Grey’s Anatomy knowledge helps them remember what those heart-reading charts are called. Come for the flashing neon warning Bri offers about saving your work and stay for a little daydreaming about nineties boyband hair.
