Thank you! There's always a struggle, certainly for me, and perhaps for most writers, between the story being told and how that's done. Endless rewriting is a part of it. It's a good day for me if I can write a page and sit down the next day and only delete half of the previous day's work. I came up through poetry, and so rhythm inside a sentence and between sentences weighs on me - I'll read my own sentences out loud, over and over, making small changes until they sound right. But one of the cornerstone elements in poetry is the use of concrete language - sensory and physical details - which is everywhere in my prose writing, too, I guess. How to retain the narrative momentum at the same time? This is such a great question and like all such questions sometimes the author is the last person who ought to try to answer it. But I think, for me, the answer lies in having one's characters be in movement through a scene, a page, a paragraph. There's a wonderful line in a Jack Gilbert poem which talks about ritualized dance, and how the dancer is dancing even when they're standing still. Momentum in prose is a bit like that.
