: Re: My scenes seem too fast I’m having issues ‘cause while I’m in the process of writing I think my style has enough length to it, but when I go back and read my work it feels extremely
Read something you wrote a year or more ago.
It is entirely possible that the reason your recently written dialog is racing by so fast is that you are very familiar with its content. When your eyes touch the first few words of a sentence, you already know how the sentence will end, so you skip the tedious reading time and just dump the content from memory into your narrative.
By reading something older, something that you haven't thought about for a long time, you can avoid such lazy reading and actually proof/experience your words at their intended pace.
You might just find that your pacing is fine when you actually take the time to read your words.
