That way something is always moving forward.<br /><br />Terry<br /><a href="http://terryodell.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Terry's Place</a><br /><a href="http://www.terryodell.com" rel="nofollow">Romance with a Twist--of Mystery</a>Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-57469140416142671252010-08-29T05:09:15.613-06:002010-08-29T05:09:15.613-06:00Of course, I know this, but somehow I always need ...Of course, I know this, but somehow I always need to be reminded.

If the pause gives the main character a chance to regroup, find allies, or make a plan, that's good. If the pause lets the main character go wimpy and wander away from the challenge, then you've probably lost the reader. Excellent post, Kathryn.<br /><br /><a href="http://patriciastoltey.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Patricia</a>Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-58995879664460215832010-08-27T12:12:28.565-06:002010-08-27T12:12:28.565-06:00Brilliantly written, Kathryn.
