Good pacing and rhythm in fiction is like music to readers’ ears. There are many ways to find and use music in writing. Many writers listen to certain pieces of music, or genres, for inspiration. However, the comparisons can go far beyond mere listening pleasure. Compare musical styles and genres to setting, mood, atmosphere. For characters, consider lead singers vs group harmony or a full orchestra. Rhythm in music equals pacing in a manuscript. Music is based on beats, measures, rhythm; writing also needs beats.
