Marjolein Van meel asked Jen Minkman:

How do you build up a good story without getting lost in scenes? What basics do you need?

Jen Minkman Oh, but sometimes I do get lost in my own scenes! In the end, though, I always know where my characters are supposed to end up and what conversations they need to have, so those are my basics. Certain things need to happen, otherwise I have no story. And if I ramble on too much in one particular scene, I cut out unnecessary stuff later on. :)
