Scene

Maybe you don’t have the full story mapped out yet, only a romantic scene like the hero confronting the dragon or scaling the tower to rescue the princess. This is fine. Your can use your scene to develop a foreground and background. In other words, deciding what happened to lead up to that scene and what happens after. You can continue to build scenes until you have a story.

1. Where does the scene take place?

2. Describe what the hero senses here – see, feel hear, smell, taste?

3. What do you like best about this scene and why should readers like it?

4. From who’s point of view is the scene presented?

5. What events took place to lead up to this scene?

6. What events will happen because of this scene?

7. How do the events of this scene affect the characters?
