RE: How to Construct Scenes in Your Story Using Plus & Minus Formula

in #writing6 years ago

What a great informative post, thank you.
If I may add something that I learned from successful Hollywood writer and producer Larry Brody at his Las Vegas workshop several years ago.
He calls it :

Cut The Heads And Tails Off Your Dinosaurs

By this he means - get straight into the action, and get out leaving people wanting more
If you look at the image below, and imagine it witout a tail or neck and head, then relate that to your story, you'll see how much waffle you can cut out of a gentle lead up to the main action

I hope that helps people to further improve their writing and adds value to your already quality post
