Some excellent ideas here – so many blog posts deal with plot structure; I like the approach of also looking at the emotional resonance that it’s possible to add in deliberately through a careful analysis of how the scene/chapter is working.

Very good advice. I am tucking it away for my revision work.

Lots of great insights here – so many people focus on the mechanics but this guest blogger’s ideas about how to analyze the emotional aspects of a scene as well offer new insights that I haven’t heard before. Excellent!

This is a deep dive into revision at a scene level and takes a different approach than the typical “story structure” stuff. Gives me lots to think about.
