Thieves' Gambit, Ep. 10: Chapter and Scene Pacing

Season 2: Thieves' Gambit
Written By Anne-Marie Strohman

Pacing scenes and chapters in an action/thriller might seem to be all about how to move through the story as fast as possible, but in this episode Anne-Marie and Erin focus on controlling the pace, why you want slower moments, and how to move fast without sacrificing clarity or emotional resonance.
