Author's Notes
Amy Stewart Bell, Author
Have you ever looked over a story or a chapter and wondered what's wrong with it?
You reread it multiple times and you know something is wrong but you just can't pinpoint it? ...Well, I have. Multiple times.
Many scenes fail because nothing meaningful is at risk.
Every scene should answer one question:
What happens if the character fails?
The bigger the consequence, the stronger the tension.
