Tip #247: Pacing description


For the sake of pacing, you usually want to drag out the description of {a simple but important action} so that it reflects the actual time that the action takes... to give it more prominence in the reader’s mind.


how do you do this? You add more words to extend the time that the reader spends reading... padding that adds to the reader’s experience
