Pacing

Pacing.  That's a real puzzle sometimes.  With Smooth Running I was telling an action/adventure story so things flowed very naturally.  With this new book, I'm on chapter 2 and wondering how quickly I should get to the main plot.  I want to provide enough world-building to be an immersive story but I don't want to get bogged down describing characters and settings that I won't be revisting until the epilogue.  I also want to be more action-oriented or at least going from conflict to conflict.
  On the other hand, showing the female protagonist what people think of the male protagonist can be a good thing.  Showing that Jacob is loved and that he has friends and favorite places might build a stronger bond to him in the reader's mind.
  So, wondering.  I think I'll just put in all the detail and then I can cut later.  Oy.  This first draft might be a big 'un for a YA novel.  :)  The important thing is to keep going.  I finished the first scene of chapter 2 but then sort of hit a snag.  By the time I'd figured out what I wanted to show next, I was too tired to write it.  Ah well, hopefully Friday night will be productive.  I want to do 35 pages a week; about half what I think COULD do in crunch mode. 
  Ah well, here's hoping chapter 2 gets done tonight and then I can get things rolling in Chapter 3.
