The Core Principle
Pacing isn't about speed—it's about rhythm. A story can be too fast at any length if readers can't absorb what's happening, or too slow in a single page if nothing engages attention. The art is in contrast: tension and release, acceleration and breath, the heartbeat of narrative that keeps readers turning pages.
