Tips for Writing a Difficult Scene

Every writer inevitably gets to that scene that just doesn't want to work. It doesn't flow, no matter how hard you try. Well, here are some things to try to get out of that rut:

1. Change the weather

I know this doesn't sound like it'll make much of a difference, but trust me when I say it does.

Every single time I've tried this, it worked and the scene flowed magically.

2. Change the POV

If your book has multiple POV characters, it might be a good idea to switch the scene to another character's perspective.

9/10 times, this will make the scene flow better.

3. Start the scene earlier/later

Oftentimes, a scene just doesn't work because you're not starting in the right place.

Perhaps you're starting too late and giving too little context. Perhaps some description or character introspection is needed before you dive in.

Alternatively, you may be taking too long to get to the actual point of the scene. Would it help to dive straight into the action without much ado?

4. Write only the dialogue

If your scene involves dialogue, it can help immensely to write only the spoken words the first time round.

It's even better if you highlight different characters' speech in different colors.

Then, later on, you can go back and fill in the dialogue tags, description etc.

5. Fuck it and use a placeholder

If nothing works, it's time to move on.

Rather than perpetually getting stuck on that one scene, use a placeholder. Something like: [they escape somehow] or [big emotional talk].

And then continue with the draft.

This'll help you keep momentum and, maybe, make the scene easier to write later on once you have a better grasp on the plot and characters.

Trust me, I do this all the time.

It can take some practice to get past your Type A brain screaming at you, but it's worth it.

So, those are some things to try when a scene is being difficult. I hope that these tips help :)

I really need to come here more often to talk about writing.

Keeping this. I have such a soft spot for this dynamic because of my baby twins ❤️

And also several other ships.

Izuocha Hurt/Comfort Week Day 6: Vulnerable/Protector

Fighting Deku, if you're a villain, is a scary prospect. Fighting Uravity if you've knocked Deku unconscious is like taking the express train to hell.

(I have a weak spot for ship dynamic that goes: Person A is the stronger of the two between A and B but in the situation A becomes incapacitated, B is hands down the more powerful of the two)

the sheer offensiveness of rereading something you wrote, discovering that, hey, it’s actually pretty good, and then reaching the end, wherein you realize that if you want more you actually have to write it

One thing I've noticed when using English is that I never know if I can say something or not.

I like to make bad jokes and have sarcastic tendencies, but I never feel comfortable making a joke in English because I never know how it's perceived from a native speaker's POV.

It's a bit fascinating to me because French doesn't have this issue at all, even through text and internet. I went years without being able to wrap my head around "tone and sarcasm is lost in text", because I would always know and most people I interacted with would always know...

Then I started interacting more with native English speakers and it kind of feels like most people don't like to use punctuation, basic kaomojis/emojis like ^^ / T_T / U_U or even smileys. How did you guys survived in the internet's wilderness?!

I ended up not needing this... but still 0.004 away from that final 4.0 GPA. Not 0.01. 0.004. Academic life really said "Screw you, you're never getting anything to brag about from me". Well screw you too, because I am DONE D:<

Omg!! Kimmy!! You're here!! You're back!! I've missed you 😘😘😘😘😘😘

Ana how are you so sweet?! That was nice to wake up to 😭 I don't know for how long, but yes, I'm here hfiodjiu! I MISSED YOU TOO 🥰🥰💗 Thank you for much for greeting me even after all this time T__T <3 You really are the best!

I FORGOT ABOUT SPOILERS

I don't know how it happened. That's a lie, I kind of know. You don't get spoiled when you play Valorant all day.

They are called leaks and you just avoid Twitter.

Anyway, I was so happy to be up-to-date with an ongoing serie... and then I don't watch an entire season. Yep, sense making too hard. RIP.

My excuse was "I want to watch the whole thing in Japanese". I am halfway through ep 1

I've been there for a whole hour now.

The good news is- Well Midoriya taking notes actually bribes me into active listening so that's cool. Does it work? I don't know, I've never tried it because I'm usually too lazy. - and usually don't need it....

but my language skills have been rusty and terrible lately. I wonder if that's a consequence of aging. It /should/ be, but then again I /should have/ got it like 5 years ago. But languages were still relatively easy at 20....

Point is : yes, I am trying to convince myself that the dynamic between Age and Language learning is a lie.

I've spent the last 10 years stressing out about how it would someday be "not as easy as it is now". 10 years is fr

eaking long and probably hurt my language learning skills and speed and rythme and momentum and everything more than anything else.

I thought BNHA would be easier to watch in RAW compared to Code Geass because of the high school setting and no keigo and everything.

Forgot I sort of spent more than half of my life watching Code Geass by now and less than a year watching BNHA.

Yup.

So um... Hi

[a-bnha-shoutorealm]

🌻🌸🌼🌹🌹🌼send this to ten bloggers you think are wonderful. Keep the game going. 🌹🌻🌸🌷💐🌻🌸

I haven't been here in so long, I just saw this 😭 Thank you so much Ana, YOU are the wonderful person and blogger here. Hope you are doing well, thank you so much for taking the time to send this, this means the world to me 💖💗

[a-bnha-shoutorealm]

My sanity is kept intact only by the fact that BNHA takes place in high school anime-wise.

This means it’s easier to project and imagine them in university.

Then I’m not alone suffering and life gets a little easier.

Inspiration and motivation, no time

Time, inspiration, and motivation: aka The Magical Time

Just finished creating something

I’ve been creating for 12 hours straight and forgot that I needed basic things like food and sleep

I haven’t had time, motivation, or inspiration in ages and am starting to feel like a fraud

Someone just complimented something I made and I’m on top of the world

Someone just insulted something I made and I’m going to cry

Someone just insulted something I made and I’m going to make more of that exact content in order to spite them

I’m looking over old projects I started and never finished, telling myself I’ll pick them up again one day even though I probably won’t

I can’t wait to show my friends what I made

I’m never showing anyone what I made

I’m going to start this project as soon as I finish eating. I’m going to start this project as soon as I catch up on sleep. I’m going to start this project as soon as I eat breakfast. I’m going to start this project-

I thought I already started this project

I know I already started this project, but I can’t find it, so maybe I should just start over

Someone asked me for specifics on what I do (what genre I like to write, what kind of things I like to paint, etc.) and I forgot everything I’ve ever made
