#WritersCoffeeClub 8 Feb: How imperfect is your pacing? Do you consider imperfection a sign of your humanity?
During the writing of #mrsCleyton I made a very serious effort to improve the pacing, by creating a virtual board of colourised post-it notes. Each note contained a story “beat” and notes belonging to the same story arc had the same colour. I tried to arrange them such that certain beats would reoccur at certain intervals, almost like a musical score.
Did it work though? I think it helped me see progressions in the story that weren’t clear to me before, and I think it improved the story pacing. But yeah, I do consider imperfection to be a human trait, and in the end I had to give up the approach and write out the remaining parts on raw feeling.
