The definitive guide to writing scenes–now revised and expanded! Scenes are the building blocks for any work of fiction–the DNA sequence that makes a novel un-put-downable and unforgettable. When writers are able to craft effective, engaging scenes, they can develop a complete, cohesive story–and a mesmerizing experience for readers. Make a Scene Revised and Expanded Edition takes you step-by-step through the elements of strong scene construction and demonstrates how the essential aspects of a compelling story–including character, plot and dramatic tension–function within the framework of individual scenes to give momentum to the whole narrative. You’ll learn how to:    • Craft an opening scene that hooks readers and foreshadows conflict.    • Develop various scene types–from contemplative to suspenseful to flashback–that are distinct and purposeful.    • Establish characters’ intentions within a scene that drive the plot.    • Transition into new scenes by clearly establishing details of setting, character, and point of view.    • Create resonating climactic and final scenes that stay with readers long after they’ve finished your story. The revised and expanded edition includes brand-new examples, an increased focus on advancing plot and character development, and the same knowledge and clarity that writers have come to expect from Jordan Rosenfeld. Make a Scene is an essential part of any novelist’s library–make sure it’s in yours.
