What undermines an otherwise compelling story? Poorly written scenes.
So, how can you write more captivating, impactful and structured scenes?
In this episode, you'll learn 5 essential elements that make a scene, along with an example to illustrate.
We'll cover:

  • What a scene is (and what it's not)
  • The difference between scenes and chapters, and why I recommend writing in scenes first
  • Different types of action that give a scene immediacy
  • How setting each scene's intention will create tension and raise the stakes
  • The withhold and reveal technique to keeping your reader anticipating each and every scene
