Maybe it's just one of those things that is supposed to happen naturally as you go, as a part of novel pacing. One of the things I often read about as regards writing advice for "experienced" writers, esp. novelists, is the issue of pacing and restraint. I've thought about that a lot, and how to try to use restraint when writing, but it's the sort of thing that I kind of think I'll be able to understand better with a few more novels under my belt. :-/ Not that I'm not trying to do the best I can right now, but it's like... Just experience over time, I guess.Good luck keeping up the great progress!!-- J. T.
