Time to check the entire manuscript through pacing with the best plot method around. It’s matching the Archetypal Story Pattern – ASP – to all scenes and their sequels.

Scenes match? Great. Scenes missing? Time to write the missing, melding in with all our other scenes. Scenes almost work? Tinker until they match.
