Three videos on the art of pacing

Desmond Hall is back with an all-pacing edition of Desmond's Drops.

The three video segments each address a technique that you can use in your writing to improve its pacing.

Video one simply focuses on a snappy piece of advice from Lee Child: "Write the slow parts fast, and the fast parts slow."

Video two discusses how to use montages in the written medium, with a passage from Great Expectations by Charles Dickens illustrating it in action.

And video three talks about compressing your scenes, providing three techniques to assist you in it.
