Mastering Story Pacing: Engage Readers Effectively
There are so many aspects to writing that I think we can get lost in the weeds.
Today I want to focus on pacing. What is it?
Pacing refers to the rate at which a story unfolds, influencing how quickly or slowly the narrative progresses. It is a crucial element of storytelling that affects reader engagement, emotional impact, and the overall mood of the piece.
The length of scenes can significantly affect the pacing. Short, punchy scenes can create a fast-paced narrative, while longer, more descriptive scenes tend to slow the pace down.
The intensity and frequency of action sequences versus descriptive passages also play a vital role. A story filled with rapid action will generally feel faster-paced, while a narrative that delves deeply into character emotions and settings may feel slower.
Different genres often dictate pacing styles. For example, thrillers typically have a brisk pace to maintain tension and excitement, whereas character-driven novels may adopt a slower pace to allow for deeper emotional connections.
Effective pacing often involves varying the speed throughout the story. This technique can help maintain reader interest and build tension, creating a dynamic reading experience.
The primary purpose of pacing is to control the speed at which the story is told, which is not always the same as the speed of the events occurring within the narrative. By manipulating pacing, writers can enhance tension, develop characters, and evoke specific emotional responses from readers.
A thriller might exemplify effective pacing through a combination of short, action-packed scenes and longer, descriptive passages. The rapid shifts between intense action and slower moments allow readers to catch their breath while still maintaining a sense of urgency throughout the story.
Tension through pacing is all about rhythm and balance. By using techniques like short sentences, fast dialogue, controlled information release, and alternating speeds, writers can craft a narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Whether it’s a high-stakes chase or a quiet moment of dread, pacing allows authors to manipulate the reader’s emotional experience and maintain suspense throughout the story.
Many can write a good story, but can they captivate their readers? Pacing is a key element in maintaining reader engagement.
Common Pacing Mistakes to Avoid
Pacing is a delicate balance in storytelling, and mistakes in this area can disrupt the flow of a narrative, disengage readers, or confuse them. Here are some common pacing mistakes and how to avoid them:
1. Rushing Through Key Moments
- The Problem: Important scenes, such as climactic moments or emotional turning points, are glossed over too quickly. This can leave readers feeling unsatisfied or disconnected from the story.
- How to Avoid: Slow down during pivotal moments. Use detailed descriptions, internal monologue, and sensory details to fully immerse readers in the scene. For example, explore their thoughts and feelings in depth instead of rushing through a character’s emotional reaction.
2. Dragging the Narrative with Too Much Description
- The Problem: Overloading the story with excessive description or unnecessary details can bog down the pace, making the narrative feel slow and tedious.
- How to Avoid: Be selective with descriptions. Focus on details that are relevant to the plot or character development. If a scene feels slow, consider cutting unnecessary exposition or dialogue.
3. Uneven Pacing
- The Problem: The story alternates between being too fast in some parts and too slow in others, creating a jarring experience for readers.
- How to Avoid: Plan your pacing intentionally. Use faster pacing for action scenes and slower pacing for introspection or world-building. Balance is key—vary the tempo to keep readers engaged without overwhelming or boring them.
4. Too Many Filler Scenes
- The Problem: Including scenes that don’t advance the plot or develop characters can make the story feel stagnant and cause readers to lose interest.
- How to Avoid: Every scene should serve a purpose. Ask yourself: Does this scene move the plot forward, reveal something about the characters, or build tension? If not, consider cutting or reworking it.
5. Overloading the Reader with Action
- The Problem: Constant action without breaks can exhaust readers and make the story feel monotonous, even in genres like thrillers or action-adventure.
- How to Avoid: Alternate between high-intensity action and slower, reflective moments. This gives readers time to process events and connect with the characters.
6. Skipping Over Transitions
- The Problem: Jumping too quickly between scenes or events without proper transitions can confuse readers and disrupt the flow of the story.
- How to Avoid: Use transitions to guide readers smoothly from one scene to the next. Even a brief sentence or two to establish time, place, or mood can help maintain clarity.
7. Ignoring Genre Expectations
- The Problem: Pacing that doesn’t align with the genre can alienate readers. For example, a slow-paced thriller or a fast-paced literary drama may feel out of place.
- How to Avoid: Understand the pacing norms of your genre. Thrillers and action stories typically require faster pacing, while literary fiction or romance may benefit from slower, more introspective pacing.
8. Failing to Build Tension Gradually
- The Problem: Jumping straight into high-stakes moments without proper buildup can make the story feel rushed and reduce the emotional impact.
- How to Avoid: Gradually increase tension by layering conflicts, foreshadowing events, and raising the stakes over time. This creates a more satisfying payoff when the climax arrives.
9. Repetition of Similar Scenes
- The Problem: Repeating scenes that cover the same ground (e.g., similar conversations or conflicts) can make the story feel redundant and slow.
- How to Avoid: Ensure each scene adds something new to the story. If two scenes feel repetitive, combine them or cut one entirely.
10. Overcomplicating the Plot
- The Problem: Introducing too many subplots or unnecessary twists can overwhelm readers and make the pacing feel erratic.
- How to Avoid: Streamline your plot. Focus on the main storyline and ensure subplots are relevant and resolved in a timely manner.
Hope this helps!
Why I Value Critiques Over Prizes in Writing Contests
This week’s entry…
Many of you know I frequently submit contest entries to Reedsy, aiming for several submissions each month.
While the tease, the carrot, if you will, of $250 is nice, the reality is that I don’t even consider that part of the prize that I am seeking.
People around the world read my stories. While a simple “like” is an affirmation in that they took the time to click like, it is for the critiques of other writers I seek.
Since they don’t know me, they can tell me what they honestly think or feel. I also reciprocate for the stories that I read. I do that with the good, the bad, and the ugly.
This week’s entry was posted, and I received the following review.
Scott, your story masterfully blends humor, serendipity, and heartfelt moments into a captivating narrative that made me feel like I was right there in the snowed-in airport. The line, “No, I’m not tired,” he whispered sadly, “but I’m also sad to see the blizzard ending,” encapsulates the bittersweet feeling of fleeting connections and new possibilities. Your depiction of Victor and Emma’s banter and chemistry, especially their shared frustrations and quick wit, is utterly delightful. The humor throughout the story—like Emma’s hilarious commentary on airport bars—kept the mood lively while the underlying emotions added depth. Your vivid descriptions, especially of the bustling airport bar and Victor’s nostalgia for Toad Suck, created a rich, immersive backdrop. This is a wonderfully crafted piece with humor, heart, and charm. Thank you for sharing such a delightful read!
I am not sharing this as a brag but as an example.
Countless similar contests, with their own unique rules and prizes, undoubtedly exist across various platforms and communities. For me, these contests are much like a recess from grade school—a welcome break from the pressures of work, a chance to let loose and have some fun, just like those carefree days of childhood. The prompt transports me from my project – be it the chilling winds and barren rocks of an alien planet or the plush carpets and rich scents of a movie star’s boudoir. The challenge is to meticulously plan my writing, unlike my spontaneous, free-flowing pantster style. With a maximum of 3000 words, creating the arc, the storyline, and so on is excellent practice for that New York Times bestseller that is looming in the near distance of my imagination.
Follow the link to my entry and see what you think. Was she right?
Recently, I published a book of these entries called Ephemera, Tales of the Fleeting and Profound. Another book with the same name, Vol II, is in the making as I take these stories, edit them, add to them as I see fit, and re-publish them as a book of short stories. You can find my work here.
Welcome to 2025 and your personal connection to someone passionate about the craft of writing. Cheers!

How to Edit Your Stories and ‘Kill Your Darlings’ This Holiday Season.
Critiquing is one of the most important things we do in a writers’ group.
With Christmas almost here in December, I felt inspired to offer a posthumous critique of Irving Berlin’s work.
In case you don’t know, Irving Berlin wrote the movie “White Christmas,” released in 1954. He not only composed the music for the film but also contributed to its screenplay. The film features several of Berlin’s classic songs, including the iconic title track, originally debuting in his earlier work, the 1942 film “Holiday Inn.”
Truth be told, nobody wants to watch a movie with me. Why?
As a storyteller, I dissect movies. Since I penned my first novel, I can’t help myself. I am told by those who know that I should smoke pot before watching a movie so I can sit back and enjoy it.
Since I don’t smoke or do drugs, I guess I will have to be me and watch movies or read books as a solo act.
Like any artist or tradesperson, we learn from watching others and doing.
I went to see a theatrical production of White Christmas last weekend. The film’s soundtrack and other elements were all very memorable. I vividly remember every dance’s choreography and performance. The problem is that I also dissected the play and the film throughout the performance.
If we examine the plot points of the movie, they are:
War Flashback: The film opens with a flashback to Christmas Eve in 1944, where Bob and Phil perform for their fellow soldiers during the war. This sets the stage for their strong friendship and shared experiences.
Post-War Success: After the war, Bob and Phil establish themselves as a popular entertainment duo. They enjoy fame and success in the show business world.
Meeting the Sisters: While in New York, they meet a sister act, Betty (Rosemary Clooney) and Judy (Vera-Ellen), and become romantically involved with them. The sisters are also aspiring performers, which adds to the story’s dynamic.
The Vermont Inn: Bob and Phil learn that their former commanding general, General Waverly, is struggling to keep his Vermont inn afloat during the winter season. They decide to help him by organizing a Christmas show at the inn.
Planning the Show: The duo travels to Vermont with the sisters to put on a spectacular Christmas performance to attract guests and save the inn. They face various challenges, including weather issues and the general’s pride.
Romantic Developments: Throughout the film, romantic tensions build between Bob and Betty, as well as between Phil and Judy. Their relationships evolve as they work together to save the inn.
The Big Show: The climax of the film features a grand Christmas show, where all the characters come together to celebrate the holiday spirit. The performance is filled with music, dance, and heartfelt moments.
Resolution: The film concludes with a heartwarming finale, where the inn is saved, and the characters find love and happiness, embodying the spirit of Christmas.
If you or I wrote a novel with that much Serendipity, no agent would touch it.
If I’d written it, I would have done a better job describing the Haynes sisters and their cousin. Several times, the’ dog-faced boy’ is the comic relief or the glue that binds the sisters’ connection to their army buddies.
What are the odds they all end up at an inn in Vermont that just happens to be owned by General Waverly, whom the guys respect and love?
By the way, army folks help me out. Would you love a commanding officer who puts you in harm’s way?
Why not connect the dots?
How about making the dog-faced boy related to the general, which is how the Haynes sisters got the gig in the first place?
Why am I picking on a show I have loved my whole life?
Within our field, the regrettable necessity of forgoing cherished elements is unavoidable. As a result, all editing options continue to be available. We refer to this as killing our darlings.
Dissecting the movies or books you loved as a child or even today will make you a better writer.
Read, Dissect, Reflect…
As we gather around our loved ones this holiday season, let’s take a moment to reflect on our creative journeys. Just as we carefully select ornaments to adorn our trees, may we also embrace the art of editing, trimming our narratives to shine even brighter.
Remember, every cut you make is a step toward clarity and impact in your writing. So, as you cozy up with your stories this Christmas, don’t be afraid to ‘kill your darlings’ and make room for the magic that truly resonates.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas filled with joy, warmth, and inspiration. Happy editing, and may your words flow as freely as the holiday spirit! 🎄✨
Currently, there are numerous works in progress featuring magic, one of which is a pulse-pounding thriller where a forensic assassin, acting as a hired gun, tracks down villains through dimly lit alleyways and shadowy corners, the city’s heartbeat a constant hum in the background.

Show Don’t Tell
‘Show don’t tell’ is one of the foundational principles of writing, emphasizing the importance of vividly illustrating instead of simply stating.
The principle of “show, don’t tell” is a fundamental technique in writing that enhances storytelling by allowing readers to experience emotions and events more vividly. Here are several reasons this approach is effective:
Engages the Reader’s Imagination
When writers show rather than tell, they invite readers to interpret the emotions and actions of characters through descriptive language and sensory details. This engagement encourages readers to visualize scenes and feel emotions alongside the characters, creating a more immersive experience.
Creates Emotional Depth
Showing emotions through actions, dialogue, and body language adds layers to character development. For instance, instead of stating that a character is angry, a writer might describe clenched fists, a flushed face, and a sharp tone of voice. This method allows readers to understand the character’s emotional state more deeply and personally.
Enhances Character Development
Characters become more relatable and realistic when their emotions are demonstrated through their behavior. Readers can infer motivations and personality traits based on how characters react to situations, making them feel more authentic and complex.
Builds Tension and Conflict
By showing rather than telling, writers can create suspense and tension in a narrative. For example, a character’s internal struggle can be illustrated through their actions and decisions, allowing readers to sense the stakes without explicitly stating them. This technique keeps readers engaged and invested in the outcome.
Encourages Reader Interpretation
When writers show emotions and events, they allow readers to draw their own conclusions and interpretations. This active participation can lead to a more rewarding reading experience, as readers connect with the story on a personal level and reflect on its themes and messages.
Here are some basic emotions
Joy – A feeling of great pleasure and happiness.
Trust – A positive emotion characterized by reliance on someone or something.
Fear – An emotional response to perceived threats or danger.
Surprise – A reaction to unexpected events.
Sadness – A feeling of sorrow or unhappiness.
Disgust – A strong feeling of aversion or repulsion.
Anger – A strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility.
Anticipation – A feeling of excitement about something that is going to happen.
Detailed or nuanced emotions.

Examples:
Opening his birthday present, Tim was joyful when he saw the latest video game.
Opening his birthday present, Tim’s face lit up with joy as he saw the latest video game. He eagerly imagined the hours of fun ahead.
Tim was disappointed to learn he would have to wait to play the game until the weekend, as tomorrow was a school day.
The following example may be a bit excessive, but it effectively conveys his disappointment.
As Tim’s face fell, a deep furrow etched itself across his brow. His eyes, which had sparkled with anticipation just moments before, now held a hint of sadness. The corners of his mouth, which had been curved up in a hopeful grin, now turned downward, reflecting the weight of his disappointment. He sighed, a long, slow exhalation that seemed to carry the burden of his unmet expectations.
He stared at the game console, its vibrant colors and intricate graphics now a stark reminder of the fun he would have to postpone. His fingers, which had been itching to wrap around the controller, now drummed a slow, disheartened rhythm against the table.
The room, once filled with the excited chatter of friends eagerly discussing strategies and predicting outcomes, now fell silent, save for the soft ticking of the clock on the wall. The hands moved inexorably forward, marking the passage of time that Tim could not reclaim.
As the reality of his situation sunk in, Tim’s shoulders slumped, and his body language indicated his despondency. He glanced at his friends, their faces a mirror of his own emotions, and then back at the game console. The screen, with its glowing promise of adventure and excitement, now seemed cold and distant, a cruel reminder of the joy that was now out of reach.
With a final, resigned sigh, Tim turned away from the game, his eyes downcast, his heart heavy with disappointment. He knew he would have to wait until the weekend to play, but for now, he could only endure the long, slow hours until then.
Try your hand at it. Pick a couple of the basic emotions, tell the story, and then show the story.

Unlock Your Writing Potential: Start Your Book Today
When people discover I am an author, they often confess they have always wanted to write a book.
Why haven’t you?
“Well, where do you start?”
Writing a book is a significant undertaking that can be daunting and rewarding.
My personal account likely resembles numerous others. Much like countless individuals who are inclined towards a sedentary lifestyle, I eagerly anticipated and fervently watched a television show that revolved around a subject matter that held deep personal meaning for me. It was a clear case of escapism, and I readily acknowledge and confess to it.
Ever since the disappointing ending of that show, I have abstained from watching television entirely, a habit that has persisted for years.
The cartoon Futurama comes to mind, where a character called Hypnotoad appears on the screen with pulsating eyes. Whether you know the subject, the salient point remains that television has consumed a significant portion of my time. Besides taking up my time, I had to endure an excessive amount of mind-numbing drug advertisements. Ladies and gentlemen, it quickly became evident who controls the media through the advertising dollars urging you to consult your doctor regarding mortality: Big Pharma.
Often, writing a book requires sacrifices.
It requires time alone, not in a dark, dank dungeon but if that inspires the story, I suggest you go with it.
Seriously it is my belief that screen time along with the TV takes more of our time than we would ever care to admit. If you want to create a masterpiece, what are you willing to trade for that creation?
For me, TV was the obvious choice. We are told to write to a seventh-grade education. Do you think in your heart that the TV even makes it a fifth-grade education?
YouTube and TikTok are just as bad. While you can find a diverse number of opinions on streaming services, few, very few, will enlighten you. They engineer emotional triggers for most of them. “You don’t need that. Truly, you don’t.”
If you want your heartstrings tugged on, write about some character doing it.
Read, yes, read the good, the bad, and the horrible so you can tell the difference.
While I could pontificate about big pharma and how they make money treating and not curing you, that is outside the scope of this blog post.
The remarkable thing is that I revised the ending of that show and, as a result, uncovered my writing potential. I not only possessed the ability to write, but I derived glee from it as I maintained control over the narrative, the journey, the characters, and, above all, the result.
Upon discovering that I am an author, individuals often admit to their desire to write a book but express uncertainty regarding the initial steps.
Now that you know a little about me and my philosophy, let’s start with the basics.
We should start by understanding the Writing Process
The process of writing a book is often perceived as a daunting task, especially for novice authors. However, breaking it down into smaller, more manageable sections can make the process more approachable. By conceptualizing your book as an assemblage of concise articles or scenes, you can dedicate your attention to creating a small segment each day, which can later be restructured into a cohesive entity. This approach can help maintain motivation and make the task less overwhelming.
Before starting a book, it’s crucial to understand your motivation and purpose. The reason behind writing your book serves as the cornerstone of your project. Establishing a distinct objective can effectively steer the writing procedure and maintain concentration, whether it is for personal development, introspection, or the dissemination of a narrative.
Writing a book can be a powerful tool for self-reflection and personal growth. It allows you to explore your thoughts and experiences in a structured way, helping to clarify your thinking and examine your values and beliefs. This process can lead to a deeper understanding of yourself and your motivations, making writing a transformative experience.
On this topic, I want to pontificate just a little more. Years ago, I was in a head-on collision with an inebriated son of a bitch. He was old, a known alcoholic and his wife enabled him.
We were at highway speeds, and the story was breathtaking. I wrote that story in Carrollton League of Writers’ first Anthology, The Roads We Take. It is in the very last part of the book. I wanted to title it Oh shit Bang, and the leader of the group didn’t like that language in the book. So, if you get the book and read the story, the title is The Devil’s Rabbit Trail.
Why tell you that?
Since I still suffer from PTSD and pain from that horrible day, this was therapy for me, and I was hoping people who might drink and drive might see it and decide not to mess up someone else’s life, much less their own.
If you want to read more about it, there is a free version on the Reedsy site under my stories. Look for the story called “Why I Write.” I tell you this because it might also resonate with you.
Writing a book requires discipline and commitment. Starting and finishing are both critical steps in the writing process. It’s essential to be disciplined, protect your writing time, and not give up, even when faced with challenges. Embracing the process, including the creation of a ‘bad’ first draft, is essential to produce a polished manuscript, eventually.
Writing fiction can also be a therapeutic tool, allowing you to process emotions and experiences. Writing is a skill that improves with practice, and engaging in regular writing can lead to personal growth and enhanced critical thinking skills.
In future blogs, we will dive into publishing.
I use Reedsy for their contest, which is not so much to win but for $5 to enter a story as a ‘chance’ of winning. I get feedback from others who are serious about writing. I get nothing out of advertising for them. My goal is to help you if you are interested in writing.
My stories on this site are many, and you can read them for free. If you do, please spend a moment commenting. Feedback is why I do this.
Please inform me of your preferences, dislikes, and any additional inquiries that we can address as we proceed.

“Lovee, have you seen Teddy?”
Now, dear reader, imagine you’re on a ship, sailing through a tempest of ideas as the sun sets and the stars begin to twinkle. Suddenly, a mighty muse appears a mischievous sea creature that’s as unpredictable as the ocean itself. This muse could be a siren, tempting you with a new story idea, or a kraken, wrapping its tentacles around your keyboard to keep you from writing.
Your phone rings, and it’s like a mermaid singing her enchanting song, enticing you to answer her call. You take the bait, only to find yourself in the clutches of a maritime monologue that drags on for hours. You wonder, “Is this a tale of my own making?”
As you sail on, you reach the infamous Sargasso Sea of Writer’s Block, where the water is murky, and the winds are as unpredictable as the muse’s whims. You’re in the middle of your literary voyage, and the muse has lost interest, leaving you adrift. Your ship starts to lose speed, and you’re struggling to keep it afloat.
You know what that means, don’t you? It’s time to spice up your story with a little something extra, like a dash of Viagra to the mushy middle. And while you’re at it, why not take a break and try your hand at a short story for a contest? It’s a great way to flex your creative muscles and prove that you’re not a quitter!
So, whether you’re a seasoned scribe or a budding bard, remember that the ocean of writing is vast and filled with adventure. And when the muse strikes, be prepared to dive in headfirst and create a story that will leave readers hooked!
