Good question. Was looking for pulses in two other stories. Since pulse suggests a moving something along (as in heart beating keeps blood flowing) perhaps a pulse in a story is the same--a moving the story along, making the reader want to keep reading, whether internal or external, front story or back story. George seems very into what keeps the reader interested, and that makes a lot of sense to me.

Oh, I love that comparison. That makes so much sense. It's a pulse of a story the same way our pulse moves our blood. It's the external action because it must be observable.
