Comments on: Layering Your Scene: The Five Key Elements https://writersinthestormblog.com/2020/10/layering-your-scene-the-five-key-elements/ A Blog On Writing Sun, 22 Dec 2024 03:58:13 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Jerold Tabbott https://writersinthestormblog.com/2020/10/layering-your-scene-the-five-key-elements/#comment-146764 Fri, 16 Oct 2020 03:53:32 +0000 https://writersinthestormblog.com/?p=41115#comment-146764 Good article. I do all these things... now. But these were learned skills, picked up through many invaluable critique group sessions over the past four years. I think I've found a reasonable balance between them in my writing, but some are added back unconsciously when I'm re-reading (and invariably tweaking) a previously written scene. Thanks. Well done.

Read it twice and will bookmark it. Why doesnt the WITS have LIKE buttons again? Some of these remarks are notable as well. I like to tag stuff that makes me think harder.

I think the "finding" it part is so important, isn't it? If we can't see what we're missing, we don't know what to add.

I do try to layer, especially when I go back in and edit and find where it's needed.

I'm so bad at adding the setting. That's what stands out for me most when I use Margie's system. I'm so glad. It helps me know where I'm missing huge chunks of important information.

You're welcome. I like to offer as many kicks-in-the-pants as I can 🙂

Thank you! It's so great that you can do that. It makes the writing process so much easier. I was half instinct, half figure it out. It comes naturally now, but it didn't always.
