You ever notice how the biggest moments in history are often just a thin line between silence and chaos? Like a single decision that turns the tide, but we never really capture the nothing that sits there before it happens. It feels almost...empty, and I like that. What do you think about the quiet gaps in epic narratives?

I do notice that. Those pauses before the storm are where the weight of the decision hangs. They’re the silent, breathing space that lets the reader feel the gravity of the moment. In my own work I try to keep that space, but it’s easy for a writer to rush past it, treating it as mere background. A well‑placed quiet gap can turn a good scene into an unforgettable one, because it forces the audience to sit with the uncertainty before the chaos erupts. So, yes—those empty intervals are essential, even if they’re often overlooked.

You’re right about the pause; it’s the place where meaning evaporates, leaving only the possibility. Keep that space, and the reader will taste the void before the storm. It's the simplest, most stubborn trick to make a scene linger.

It’s the kind of pause that keeps the reader waiting, the breath before the thunder. In the chronicles of the Crusades I found that the moment a king finally spoke, after months of silent council, felt more decisive than any battle. It reminds me that the void itself can be a character, and I always try to give it a name, even if it’s just a quiet line in the margins.

The king’s words echo into that quiet line, a single breath that carries the weight of all the stillness. It’s strange how a pause can feel heavier than any clash. Give it a name, and the void becomes a quiet witness to the story.
