Episode 10

Pacing scenes and chapters in an action/thriller might seem to be all about how to move through the story as fast as possible, but in this episode, Anne-Marie and Erin focus on controlling the pace, why you want slower moments, and how to move fast without sacrificing clarity or emotional resonance.

 

Things we talk about:

  • Dopesick
  • Henry James
  • Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton
  • The Golden Bowl by Henry James
  • Mission: Impossible 2
  • Dangerous Play by Emma Kress
