White Space Analysis:

1. CURRENT DENSITY
- Calculate: Words per page section
- Identify dense blocks (slow reading)
- Identify sparse sections (fast reading)

2. PACING ALIGNMENT
- Do dense sections match slow story moments?
- Do sparse sections match fast/tense moments?
- Where is there misalignment?

3. WHITE SPACE TOOLS
- Single-sentence paragraphs (emphasis/speed)
- Line breaks between action beats
- Short dialogue exchanges
- Fragmented sentences
- Scene transitions

4. OPTIMIZATION PRINCIPLES
- Action sequences: More white space
- Tension moments: Sparse, punchy
- Emotional scenes: Can breathe with space
- Exposition: Needs breaking up

5. REVISED SCENE
- Rewrite with optimized white space
- Same content, different visual presentation

6. COMPARISON
- Read both aloud
- Note pacing differences
- Which version reads at intended speed?
