Scenes are essential fictional units, and if a single unit falters, then an entire novel or short story can be weakened. While there is no paint-by-numbers formula for writing powerful scenes, writers can drastically improve their entire manuscripts by understanding the primary components of a given scene and how to manipulate those components to create the desired amount of drama, emotion, tension, energy, and intrigue. Make a Scene explains the fundamentals of strong scene construction and how other essential fiction-writing techniques, such as character development, pacing, description, and transitions must function within the framework of individual scenes in order to provide substance and structure to the overall story.

WELL WRITTEN. This book is a MUST for first-time novelists! I found it very helpful for understanding scene structure and it also taught me how to let my story progress logically, yet believably, from scene to scene. It goes into detailed explanation about writing scenes that is not confusing--as some 'how-to' books can be. It is very organized. Anyone who reads this book should feel VERY CONFIDENT about writing scenes afterward.
