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.

5 Ways Writers Can Break Out of the Tired Old Social Media Box

5 Ways Writers Can Break Out of the Tired Old Social Media Box | Scriveners' Trappings | Scoop.it

The social media world is changing daily. In other words, we must be alert and aware of the new tools that could support us in our approach. This interesting article speaks about some "new" tools that can also help us to go towards to success. [note Martin Gysler]

 

It’s time to teach that old dog some new tricks.

 

That old dog I’m referring to is social media.

 

Sure, you’re already blogging, and on Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Facebook, and more. Great.

 

But I’m telling you — there’s more to social media than meets the eye. The final chapter on social media hasn’t been written.

 

When I kicked off my writing business in April, I decided to use social media my way.
