This chapter was all about setting the scene, whether that involved the environment, time, and mood. The part I found most useful when considering applications to my own writing difficulties. I struggle to keep the story moving sometimes, so then I rush and skip over details. It was interesting to think of pacing in a story from the context of how the character is experiencing the scene I’m trying to write. Maybe a good event is intentionally fast paced to make it seem more threatening when it ends or a bad event drags on to show how the character is being affected. Maybe the lead up to a big speech drags on really long because that’s how the character is experiencing the time before that speech. Thinking about where to use my time and how I want sections of my story to come off is really helpful to consider.
