TOOL #01 — THE PACING PASS
Two writers can put down the identical sentences and one page breathes while the other suffocates. The difference is not word choice. It is where you break.
This is the pass I run on everything before it leaves my desk: five steps, in order, plus eight named devices that buy you a beat without adding a single word. It includes one paragraph shown twice, side by side, same words, different shape — so you can see the whole argument in about four seconds.
