Sometimes I just feel like I have to write a slow travel or dialogue scene because the book has been really fast paced for a while. I struggle making those scense feel meaningful and like they are driving the plot forward, while also staying true to the characters.
Because I feel like I am...
Honestly I think if you like it, and if you aren't writing it with intentions to forward negative stereotypes (which you clearly aren't) go for it! Some people might try to turn it into something it's not, but it is pretty hard to avoid to avoid that sort of thing completely in today's culture...
I've found that my stories always end up feeling, at least to me, like they aren't going anywhere, or they're going crazy fast. What are some of the best practices you guys have found to write good pacing into your stories?
