Speeding Up and Slowing Down your Novel
Manage episode 342479096 series 2996633
How do you take a ponderous story into a page turner? How do you take a Michael Bay paced novel and make it about more than one disaster after the next? In this episode, we explain Jack Bickham’s techniques to speed up or slow down your story’s pacing by using the structures of scene and sequel. We also check in with author Terry Teirney and editor Zoe Quinton to see if they use sequel in their writing. And finally, we test out the techniques on our own writing.
Want to find out more, check out our shownotes.
Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.
