How Do you weave so much information into your stories and yet keep them so fast-paced?

Meet Dan&FAQs&Official Website of Dan Brown
Writing an informative yet compact thriller is a lot like making maple sugar candy. You have to tap hundreds of trees...boil vats and vats of raw sap...evaporate the water...and keep boiling until you've distilled a tiny nugget that encapsulates the essence. Of course, this requires liberal use of the DELETE key. In many ways, editing yourself is the most important part of being a novelist...carving away superfluous text until your story stands crystal clear before your reader.

Do you weave events from your real life into stories or rely on imagination?

Ursula K. Le Guin: Answers to a Questionnaire (FAQ: Frequent...
Of course everything one writes about comes from experience. Where else could it come from? But the imagination recombines, remakes.... makes a new world, makes the world new. I seldom exploit experience directly. I do what the poet Gary Snyder calls "composting" -- You let everything you do/learn/think/read/feel sink down inside yourself and stay in the dark, and then (years later maybe) something entirely new grows up out of that rich darkness. This takes patience.

Why is 2214 so fast-paced?

Nitrocosm Studios - Home of 2214
The reason the story moves so quickly from page to page is that I skip unimportant details in order to emphasize the main story without unneccesary details. The other main reason (and honestly, probably more importantly), is so the story will complete within 3 years. Which leads to the next question: Yes, the story has a definite ending.

What is weave?

NVDVD FAQ
Weave is a de-interlacing algorithm that simply weaves the two interlaced fields together to generate a frame. This works well if the image is still, but the slight difference in time between the fields causes a moving object or panning scene to contain edges that appear feathered. (add picture of weave feathering) This is the de-interlace mode used when "combine fields" is set in the NVDVD Video property page.

What is she doing on the computer? Is she playing fast paced games?

hands going numb
You could try giving her B complex vitamins that have at least 100 mg of Vitamin B6 and see if that is helpful. I agree with checking with a Chiropractor. I would ask for X rays if the chiropractor doesn't take them right away.

How do you get a date in this fast-paced, modern world of ours?

VoyForums: LightingThePath
Death rains from above, when the bombs fall and children scream. Death rains from above, the product of misdirected dreams. Death rains from above, as a multitude of angels cry, And death rains from above while common people wonder why. So much the pity, that we must resort to hurt, that cold steel's so much easier than good cheer and mirth. That conquest by force seems to be the order of the day, That a race such as ours can not find another way..

Are the classes self-paced?

Frequently Asked Questions
No. "Self-paced" implies that a student can participate without a set schedule. GW's distance learning courses are "asynchronous", which means that courses do not usually require student participation at a particular time of day; however, students participate actively in class activities on a regular basis and submit assignments according to the professor's syllabus.

Online Learning FAQs
No, most are not. Depending on the instructor, you will have assignments that require you to communicate with other students just as you would in a face-to-face course. Most online courses require you to adhere to due dates for assignments, quizzes, tests, etc. If you register for an online course, expect to finish the course on the instructor's timeline, not yours.

Can I shampoo my weave?

Khamit Kinks
It depends on the quality of the human hair used. Typically human hair that is mass produced like the hair from Korea, does not do well with water. When using Korean human hair it is recommended that a dry shampoo is used to clean your scalp. A dry shampoo consists of cleansing the scalp with a damp cloth for several rounds using different cleansing ingredients. Tipping is primarily a personal decision.
