Tempo
Largo, Andante, Andantino, Alegro, Vivace...
The breath before the music starts sets the tempo.
The breath before the words begin set the story's pace. Will the reader roll each word around in her head, savoring the texture of each sentence? Or will she devour the pages, one after the other, unable to wait to see what happens next?
The author sets the pace and with a skip or a slide, carries the reader along on a ride.
