Re: How can screenwriters control pace? Any thoughts on unintentional slowness?
No, clearly, that wasn't an answer to the question of pacing. It was, however a response to something you mentioned in your post -- remember?
"ctp, considering where this thread has gone, you have the patience of a saint."
And the fact that I started my response with: "Yep, unfortunately a lot these discussions often veer off in this direction." Should have clued you in to that.
In the meantime, how "exactly" is your snarky response to me helping to answer ctp's question?
Considering that ctp asked the question ten days ago -- probably got his answer from NMS -- of whom you said: "NMS's response on page one was the best, most complete answer."
And since ctp and NMS haven't been heard from since (at least in this thread), I think you're talking to a ghost, and/or trying make a point about thread drift.
Go ahead, but when you bring up the up the subject, don't "act" shocked when someone else runs with it. It only makes you look sanctimonious.
Care to introduce me to your friend, the Straw Man, some day? You two seem to be hitting it off.
Since nobody has suggested that (except maybe your Straw Man friend), it looks like you're talking to yourself. So... maybe not a good time to use the word "insane". (Just saying.)
And if so, you fell right into the slop too -- didn't you?
