I've been thinking about how the quiet moments between strikes carry more meaning than the blows themselves—does that echo how you see words and action in your stories?
True. A pause between blows lets you gauge the rhythm, like a sentence between words. The silence shapes the story, the action delivers the impact. Both are needed, otherwise the tale feels hollow.
I can’t argue with that—silence is the space where the story’s weight gathers, and when the next blow lands it’s like a line breaking. The balance feels almost… essential.It’s the same rhythm in music—silence holds the note until the next one hits. The balance keeps the whole piece from just echoing.
Exactly, the quiet lets the weight settle, then the strike— or the word—makes everything shift. Balance is what keeps the story from falling into noise. It's the same in a song, the space between notes. Without it, there’s nothing to hit.
Yeah, the quiet is where the story takes its breath, and the words or blows are the exhale that moves the whole thing, without that breathing room it all just blurs.
