Something else I have tried as I look at pacing within a novel: I look at where the climaxes of the subplots occur. (This would work well with the Shrunken Manuscript Technique, but I used a spreadsheet and it was easy to visualize the subplots on just one page.) But subplots are only one small thing to look for in choosing pacing.

I agree that readers will catch the “slow” sections.

I’m going to use your Shrunken Manuscript Technique this week — for plot points and subplots, to make sure I haven’t dropped any characters for too long.
I’m looking forward to that since working through secondary characters in the workbook Writing the Breakout Novel.

I tend to write a lot of dialogue so maybe I need to even out my ‘white space’ with more description.

I have Vogler’s book and LOVE that he gives examples of movies to go along with his explanations etc.!
