Build a Scene in Scene Builder

Build a Scene in Scene Builder

Sometimes we run into that one scene that just isn't working. Every writer knows the feeling after a long writing session of living deep within the world we've created, that one scene or sequence of scenes just doesn't click. So, we sit and force ourselves to try and figure it out, reading the previous and following scenes over and over trying to figure out what is missing.  

One great solution is to walk away, get some fresh air, think about something other than your story. If that walk, fresh air and clear head doesn't help because when you sit back down you still have a troubled scene smack-jab in the middle of an otherwise perfect story, then simply remove the scene from the story and give it the focus it deserves.

Story Blūprint provides a Scene Builder feature giving us writers an area to focus on a specific scene, apart form the rest of the story. Though it's not a magic bullet, it does provide us with questions that could spark a creative solution.
