Scene and Sequel is the key to balancing plot and story—the physical and emotional. It's also the tool you'll use to control pacing. (This lecture is from my course on story structuring, but I've included it here, too, because it's important background for the pacing lesson that follows.)
Your entire novel shouldn't be one long car chase, nor should it be entirely reflection. You need to mix it up to excite readers, and then engage them. This lesson shows you how.
With these tools your plot will quickly take shape as you write your manuscript. Next it's time to make decisions about viewpoint and tense.
