Sorry, I didn't post anything last week. I went out of town to visit family and came back to a lot to do so I kind of missed it, but I'm back and ready to share the next section
Ready for the next segment of the hand out by Janice Bennett on writing the popular novel. Now we're editing our manuscript and going back to look at the same things we needed to pay attention when we were writing it.
So now we're going to go back and look at our scenes:
1.) Does your manuscript start with a dramatic, action-packed scene that is important to the story?
2.) Do you have the story's conflict, tension, action and emotion continue to gradually rise instead of dip and rise and not keep your readers attention?
3.) Do the scenes develop naturally out of each other? Out of each character?
4.) Is each scene important to the plot, premise and/or story development?
5.) Do you vary the pace of your scenes and incidents or all they all the same?
6.) Have you pushed yourself to show all the important scenes needed and not avoided some of your conflict? And have you used all the forms of conflict - internal, external and interpersonal?
7.) Have you shown and not told?
8.) Is each scene as exciting as possible?
