#WritersCoffeeClub Feb 8th: How imperfect is your pacing? Do you consider imperfection a sign of your humanity?

Imperfection is a flaw I strive to minimize.

As for my pacing, it varies. But I'm about 35-40 novels into a career and I think I've got a handle on how to do multi-viewpoint/multi-threaded narratives with flashbacks and intercuts and *mostly* do it smoothly enough the reader doesn't notice the wow and flutter on the tape.

When *I* do, that's when I know it needs a redraft.
