Fiction Writing: Building Vivid Scenes

Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentation

Abstract

Scene writing is the cornerstone of contemporary fiction. This podcast will briefly explore how scene came to dominate modern narratives. Our focus will then shift to tips on constructing vivid moments of real time in your own writing. We will break a scene down into its component parts, and consider how these elements should work in relationship to each other. We will discuss ways to build scenes in novels and short stories that capture the reader’s heart and mind. To finish, we’ll offer an overview of the larger issues of effective scene construction.
