Hey, I've been tracking my sprint times and realized the pace of a story is just as important—any thoughts on how writers measure narrative speed?

I usually look at the average word count per page and how often the narrative voice shifts. It’s like checking the distance between beats. I also note how quickly a conflict rises or falls—if tension spikes, the pace feels faster. There isn’t a single formula, just a feel for the rhythm that keeps a reader turning the page.

Nice! I’ll start logging the beats in a spreadsheet, track the rise and fall of tension like a sprint split, and see if I can shave off a second per chapter—because if it’s a race, every fraction counts.

That sounds like a solid plan. Keep an eye on the moments that truly lift the story’s heartbeat, and trim the quieter parts that feel like a pause. Good luck getting those chapters to sprint!

Got it—monitor the heartbeats, cut the idle laps, and crank up the speed. Let’s make those chapters sprint past the page!

Sounds like a good strategy. Keep the flow tight and the tension alive, and the pages will finish faster. Good luck.
