When I first started writing scrips we focused on plot points, things that happen or choices characters make, that spin the story in a new direction. What you have written here melds with that nicely, making us look closer at why the the character makes that change. Great series so far.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-7321974862871110682015-03-06T12:18:45.901-07:002015-03-06T12:18:45.901-07:00Goes to show nothing is completely original in wri...Goes to show nothing is completely original in writing.

There are 40 basic scenes made up of four layers: external,internal, antagonist, and interpersonal conflict (you can do more or less). If you can write 40 sentences that show cause and effect, you have a conflict outline. When I put it in that perspective, it wasn't as terrifying as 400 pages of, "What do I do next?" It kept me working through the muddy middle.Diana Hurwitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18216220574149672733noreply@blogger.com
