Wordplay: Helping Writers Become Authors: Structuring Your Story’s Scenes, Pt. 8: Options for Reactions in a Sequel

Wordplay: Helping Writers Become Authors: Structuring Your Story’s Scenes, Pt. 8: Options for Reactions in a Sequel | Scriveners' Trappings | Scoop.it

At the heart of every sequel is the narrating character’s reaction to the preceding scene’s disaster. This is where the author gets the opportunity to dig around inside his character’s emotional and mental processes and find out what he’s really made of. The scene is about external action; the sequel is about internal reaction. The sequel will sometimes be entirely confined to the POV character’s mind; other times, it will be dramatized through action or dialogue.

Jim Lerman's insight:

This is a very informative post from a wonderful blog about writing. If you are looking for assistance in how to improve, especially one's fiction writing, this is a very good resource.

This post makes a good point. Have to admit, it took me a minute to realize that Sequel was used to mean the chapter or scene after a big event/action scene. Being a librarian, sequel is a second book.

Journalism can be much more than reporting. An authentic, human narrative touches audiences and keeps them reading. Learn how to shape a human-centered news story, and the importance of facts, context and heart.
