Page-Turning Scenes + 4000 words

I’ve written an additional 4000 words today, filling in exercises for Pacing and adding an entire new section on Transitions. So when the course goes on sale next week (Monday for list members, Tuesday for everyone else), it’s going to have some bugs my beta-testers didn’t have a chance to test.

And some new ones I’ve accidentally added during revision.

And some I’ve either missed or—in a few cases—left in because of the differences between writing for correct grammar and writing for breathability.

But–the new sections turned out really well. I’m really excited about them.
