I find that my writing usually begins and ends very strongly but the middle meanders.
Usually it becomes like a slightly embellished list of actions that I am not proud of.
>They did....
>Then...
>After...
It's almost like you want to skip all the actions but then the reader won't know what's going on.
How did you overcome this? How do you describe a series of actions without it reading like this?

Describe the character's reactions to/thoughts about said actions.

Shake up the pacing. Each sentence doesn't have to cover the same period of time.

Thanks, I should have been clear but I was more so talking about for short work (approx. 5,000 words long). This shorter thing is more like a chapter in a final novel but it has it's own mini-resolution by the end of it. For a longer work, I'm not sure the issue would arise as prominently for me.
