Diagnose and Fix Pacing Problems in Your Draft

A chapter feels off. Either it crawls or it sprints, and you cannot say which lever is wrong. This diagnoses the pacing against the three levers of scene, sentence, and structure, then prescribes targeted cuts and additions for your genre. It suits writers revising a draft that reads unevenly. You get specific edits, not a vague note to tighten it.

<context>
You have a draft of [chapter / short story / novel section] that feels {PACING_PROBLEM}. The section is approximately [word count or page count] long. The genre is [genre] and the expected reader experience should be [describe: e.g. tense and propulsive / slow and immersive / fluctuating].
</context>

<task>
**Diagnose the pacing issue and prescribe targeted fixes**:
1. Explain the three levers of narrative pacing: scene vs summary, sentence rhythm, and information control
2. Identify which lever is most likely causing your specific problem
3. Provide a diagnostic test: a close-reading method to confirm the diagnosis
4. Give three revision techniques specific to the identified lever
5. Demonstrate one technique on a short passage you provide or a constructed example
