Question regarding pacing · 12:29am Mar 15th, 2014
I have a bit of a dilemma. I'm new to writing, and the biggest setback I'm experiencing at the moment is trying to maintain pacing. I just started writing a CheesePie fic for the group's contest, and I'm starting to rush it a bit like I did with my Octavia fic.
I thought of two different solutions, but I'm not sure which one makes more sense to use. My first solution was to just keep writing it as it came to me, even if the pacing was off, and then go back later and add in detail when needed. My other solution was to write a little bit, and not allow myself to go on any further until I expand the current story to a point in which I'm personally satisfied with it. Which would be more practical?
