In this video, I'll share a GAMECHANGING pacing tool I call "The Drop".

Forget dry theory – this is a technique I developed by studying countless bestsellers. The Drop isn't just about overall pacing, though that's vital too.

It's about injecting that same energy into individual scenes. We'll break down how this works, drawing inspiration from music (yes, music!) and using examples from The Two Towers and Brandon Sanderson's Words of Radiance.

If you're serious about mastering story structure, this video is just the tip of the iceberg. Check out my indepth masterclass on story elements linked below. Subscribe for more writing tips and hit the bell to never miss an upload!
