About this listen

Step beyond the role of a storyteller and become a composer. In this artistic and inspiring episode of Lore & Love, Alexandria explores the music of prose—the powerful, often-unseen rhythm that dictates the emotional experience of your reader. Learn how to consciously craft your sentence structure, length, and word choice to control the pacing of your story, turning a simple scene into a symphony.

Through a close reading of two contrasting scenes from her manuscript, Storm Kin, Alexandria demonstrates how short, staccato sentences can create a breathless, heart-pounding action sequence, while long, lyrical sentences can invite the reader into a moment of quiet reflection and intimacy. Discover how to listen to the cadence of your own work and use the flow of language to literally control your reader's heartbeat. This episode will change the way you hear the words on your page and empower you to become the true composer of your story.
