Thanks. The stories ebb and flow at different paces, some
slower, some faster, depending on the nature of the story. I try to
give each one a separate flavor. Where it may become a hassle is that
some folks, myself included sometimes, tend to flip pages in a novel to
get to the exciting stuff...but the interim parts, though slower, are
where you get to know the characters and care for them, so that what
happens later has consequence.
