Breathless: Pacing your prose
Whether you are writing a memoir, a novel, or creative non-fiction, the pace at which your narrative unfolds has a huge impact on reader. How do you intensify a scene, bringing the reader deep into the narrative, and still keep the story moving? Learn how the basic types of prose (summary, exposition, action, dialog and description) affect the pace of your work so you can suspend time or send the story rocketing onward. This talk will share specific techniques and approaches to balancing intensity and movement in order to draw readers into your characters, allow them to experience key moments in your narrative, and get them excited about what happens next.
