WRITE GREAT SCENES gives you a key set of tools to becoming a writer whose works readers can't stop reading.
The most fundamental building block of any novel isn't the character or the plot or anything except the scenes . If you learn how to write great scenes you'll be well on your way to creating novels readers can't put down.
This book breaks down what makes a great scene, the four essential elements every great scene needs, and provides you with an entire toolkit of Page-Turner Techniques you can use every day in your writing to turn ordinary scenes into PAGE-TURNER SCENES!
You also learn how to recognize when a problem exists in a scene and—more importantly—you'll learn how to FIX SCENE PROBLEMS easily and quickly.
I have studied writing techniques for decades and would have mortgaged my soul to have had these instructions!! Meg Leader has provided a gift of her experience and considerable knowledge to those who are wise enough to follow her advice.
I was hoping for a detailed, in depth breakdown of scenes and really dissecting what you need and stuff like that, instead it's mostly general writing advice. it's decent advice and certainly talks about scenes at times, but not what I was hoping for overall.
