So, I was writing a test story to see if my tools can work together in the way intended. Few paragraphs into the first chapter and there is a problem: Character A is a scaredy-cat, and I based the locations off of Slender: The Arrival's prologue chapter. So A decides not to use any light sources and goes through the prologue section moving from cover to cover, peeking out and moving. This is understandable, F.E.A.R fans know why. _("Careful with your flashlight, it will give you away.")_ Though this is highly repetitive, which is a reason why readers drop a book. **So, how can I write a section of repeated actions, without the writing being too repetitive?**
