Oh well, I like fast-paced books anyway, so it's fun working on one like that. Just because the pacing is fast doesn't mean the prose can't be lyrical--it just can't be overlong. At least, that's how I'm looking at it.<BR/><BR/>ChrisChristopher M.

Commercial writing, I've been told, is about conflict on every page, but literary writing isn't. I'm trying to find that balance myself. I am, personally, cringe at sacrificing lyrical prose for a story line. That's so Hollywood. But, at the same time, sometimes you need to do that to sell the story.<BR/><BR/>I don't know.Rachel V.
