I'm always looking for places to break that won't be too abrupt and 
that give some kind of mini-climax or resolution to the action. I try 
to get close to 250 words, and it's very rare that I let the 
requirements of pacing get beyond -25/+50 of that.  Maybe I should 
move the section break here, but that might mean adjusting a bunch either side.

You have to suck it up in Klingon and realize that seeing as we don't 
even have separate "he" and "she" you have to say the names a LOT. I 
noticed that when I was translating passages into English, how they 
sounded like a children's book until I turned three-quarters of the 
names into pronouns.
