johannahefer Presents: Tips and a Sneak Peek

Hey everyone, I am Johanna and very excited to be here. I would like to thank Kelly for allowing me the opportunity to participate in yet another Wattpad Block Party. Kelly thank you so much❣ I really appreciate all the hard work you are putting in to have each and every one of us feature in this Block Party❣❣❣

a) Tips on Writing The Perfect Scene

This is the Fifth Wattpad Block Party I'm participating in. And I must admit that it's not always easy to decide what to write about. So, I decided to throw in some tips this time around... Tips on writing the perfect scene.

As a writer I am always looking for ideas and tips to make myself a better writer. And what better place to start by writing the perfect scene.

I stumbled on a blogpost by Randy Ingermanson, Writing The Perfect Scene. It is quite challenging being able to use this technique. I am still practicing to perfect this.

I'll explain it like I understand it and I'll give the link to you to go check out the post and read it for yourself. And I'd like to hear your opinion on this and maybe how you write your scenes. Please share with me what works for you when writing the perfect scene. I'll be using the examples he uses in his post.

There are two levels of Scene Structure according to Randy Ingermanson:

The large-scale structure and The small-scale structure

1. LARGE-SCALE STRUCTURE OF A SCENE

There are two choices to make for a scene structure: Scenes and Sequels.

SCENE:

Goal
Conflict
Disaster

SEQUEL:

Reaction
Dilemma
Decision

SCENE

GOAL
