Do you ever feel stuck while you’re writing, trying to find the balance between emotion and action so that your scene unfolds seamlessly, like watching a movie scene? Many writers struggle with pacing – striking a balance between the character’s thoughts/feelings and the action of what’s happening externally. That's why, in this video, we're exploring the science of strong PACING — fast pacing, slow pacing, montage pacing… with side-by-side examples. Let's crack the code of pacing together!

My name is Abbie Emmons I teach writers how to make their stories matter by harnessing the power and psychology of storytelling, transforming their ideas into a masterpiece, and creating a lifestyle that makes their author dreams come true.
Story isn’t about “what happens” — it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence. That’s what we talk about every week on this channel – and if it’s something you’re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!
