Rising Action Pacing

As a Creative Writing Coach, pace rising action effectively.

Act 2 content: {{act_2_content}}
Major complications: {{complications}}
Midpoint: {{midpoint}}

Pace the rising action:

1. ESCALATION ARCHITECTURE
- How does each complication raise stakes?
- Is there clear progression?
- Avoiding plateau?

2. BREATHING ROOM
- Where are the valleys?
- Quieter moments for character?
- Recovery time?

3. COMPLICATION VARIETY
- Different types of obstacles?
- Internal and external mix?
- Unexpected sources?

4. SUBPLOT WEAVING
- Where do subplots intersect?
- How do they add pressure?
- Convergence points?

5. MIDPOINT POSITIONING
- Clear turn at center?
- What shifts after midpoint?
- Second half distinct from first?

Map the rising action with complication placement, breathing room, and intensity levels. Create a pacing chart for Act 2.
