To give you some context about Emma Viskic‘s quote, this is the Nullarbor Plain:
Or, to be exact, the eastern end of it. It should give you some idea of what Emma means in her quote about pacing. A narrative should not continue without something changing, and not necessarily throwing in an action scene or three. It’s about ensuring that you take your characters through hills and valleys and spits you out at the other end.
Oh, that does look like quite an empty road! I like this quote and your own explanation on it. Thanks for sharing!

Doesn’t it? I’d start nodding off driving something like that — and in a book if it was like that. I love her description too, it was so lyrical!
