To an author, the flow is everything.
The pacing, the speed at which a scene unfolds and the action is presented. Some take their time, some are done in an instant.
I have always enjoyed a lengthy scene, maybe not Quentin Tarantino long, but one where the characters have the time to have their moment in the spotlight, and their emotions are properly expressed.
Been radio silent for a while, so maybe I should get back to the swing of things for the new year.
Mane Effect, to my joy, has achieved over a thousand views, eighty likes and one hundred favorites. I am glad to have written a story worth of such praise and accolades, and hopefully I can keep up the hard work, because I have long way to go.
A huge thank you to my readers, the regular commenters, and all of the other authors who have offered their help in getting me to this milestone.
When I started writing Mane Effect, The initial plan was to have written ten chapters fully finished and edited before I even began publishing, for I am nothing if not a massive procrastinator sometimes, and the tremendous work buffer would help me keep ahead of a regular update schedule.
I managed to complete four chapters before my Editors insisted that I begin publishing immediately. See the initial reception to my work, I felt that maybe I would be OK in keeping ahead of the curve.
Sleazy Applewood Director: Alright everypony, that's a wrap! Take five while we set up for the volcano scene!
Quillery: What volcano scene?
Sleazy Applewood Director: The exciting car chase scene over the volcano of course. What action movie is complete without at least one car chase and a volcano?
Quillery: Uh, this isn't a movie, its a story. And its a science fiction, why would there be cars? And volcanoes are cheesy. Who let you in here anyways?
