Writing for Comics and Graphic Novels with Peter David Quotes

“Basically, both the characters and the plot have their individual arcs and are specifically intertwined. Think of the plot as an automobile and the character as the passenger. The plot drives the character through his arc so that he goes through various experiences in his journey and winds up a different person when he turns off the car and steps out than he was when he first climbed behind the wheel.
Pacing is the speed with which the car makes the journey. It's knowing when to hit the gas, when to ease up, when to slam on the brakes and then how fast to accelerate once more.”
