This is one of the most important factors of writing creatively. Sentences and paragraphs may just seem like basic grammar, but it physically sets down a visual that lets the story take a different path. Just as people's minds follow punctuation in writing, ending a sentence or setting off a new paragraph can speed or slow things down as you want. Yes, there are basic rules to when to set off a new paragraph, but they're there so that your story can have a basic structure that gives it a nice flow and pace. Pay attention to how you're ending your scenes and sentences!!
