I just found one of the best articles on scene building I have ever
read and just had to share it. It is from the March/April issue of
Writer's Digest.

5 Easy Tips to Strengthen Your Scenes

I have been told that I'm pretty good with dialogue, but I tend to rush
scenes that should be drawn out and overwrite unimportant scenes that
probably shoud be cut out. I also don't paint a picture of my
characters very well. I put too much trust in the reader to do that.

This article has already helped me see my shortcomings.

The title of the 5 tips are:

1. RELIVE YOUR SCENES - Not rewrite. Revise

2. HEAT UP THE CORE

3. ADJUST YOUR PACE

4. STRETCH THE TENSION

5. CUT OR STRENGTHEN WEAK SCENES

All have more information and examples

Thanks for the info, Brew. I have printed it out so that I have it to refer to.

I missed this post, Brew, I will have to check it out. Thank you.
