The friends are going to be separated for a long period of time. How do they say goodbye to each other? Do they keep in touch while they’re apart?

Things A Scene Needs

mooderino:

Each character in a scene needs a goal. Obviously the main character’s goal is the most important, but every character should be aiming for something, and those goals should be acted on and in doing so affect one another.

This doesn’t just refer to the protagonist/antagonist relationship, it should be true of all characters in a scene.

I would read either of them, but I’m more interested in how you write it.

Thoughts on The Great Gatsby’s screen experience?

I use sticky notes. In my work room there is a big, blank wall and I wrote down all my plot ad subplot ideas on sticky notes. That way I can rearrange my ideas in a certain way and where I’m not sure what happens I can physically see the gaps. Slowly, I fill it in. I think that’ll help you.

I think you have lost touch with the main goal if the story is. You start a story with a goal— your character wants something. If you can figure out what it is, you just need a solution and everything in between is subplot. Do t worry about the people wanton you to finish. Writing is for you first and foremost.

Haha—this is definitely new to me, but I’m strangely hopeful.

Thanks! I look forward to it.

Friendly reminder that your characters don’t have to be likeable.
