What is pacing? Developing narrative quick check

Pacing in narrative refers to the speed at which a story is unfolding or progressing. It can refer to the overall tempo of the story as well as the speed at which individual scenes or events are described. Pacing can greatly impact the reader's experience, as a well-paced story maintains the reader's interest and keeps them engaged, while a poorly-paced story may feel slow or rushed. Good pacing involves balancing slower, more introspective moments with faster-paced action scenes to create a dynamic and engaging narrative.
