What this episode covers
This month's Master Class episodes focus on pacing, and we're dividing the concept of pacing into two parts: the first is the sense of progress within the story, and the second is the sense of the passage of time. In this episode we tackle that first bit, and discuss how we communicate progress to the readers. We talk a bit about the concept of "promises made to the reader," which we covered in more detail during episode 10.14 . You may want to refer back to that at some point.
