Hi Robyn, Can a scene be broken ? Or does it have to be a complete beginning middle end (status quo - inciting incident - rising action - climax - resolution) I'm trying to make sense of all that : (
In your scene example... You said your character need to get into a castle steal an artefact and get out ? So you have 4 scenes ? - Getting into the castle - Looking and finding the artefact - Steal it - Getting out of the castle Is this one scene ? or four scenes and one sequence (getting the artefact) How many goals, can a character have in one single scene ? How many events can happen in one single scene ? I'm lost haha : (
Hey, In my opinion, a scene could be broken as that would be how a cliff hanger is formed. However, you could argue, that this is a formatting break rather than a scene break as the scene would usually continue straight away in the following chapter. But yes, I would say you can have a scene where a resolution is not reached but rather stops at the characters dilemma.
@@SHVDETHEDON You are correct, In the video I say these are three scenes with one scene in a full chapter - Getting into the castle is one scene and one chapter - the next chapter holds two scenes which is finding the artefact and then getting out of the castle. This gives the characters a goal per scene. You can also split scenes by area. For example, in my example given, you could say the scene's are split by outside the castle, within the castle, then the escape route of the castle. Ultimately, the scene structure I give here is just a basic, standard structure, but you can play with this and you can play with the idea of multiple goals, depending on the type of book and audience you are writing for. Scenes can be confusing, but try to think of it in three basic steps, problem, goal, how to get there. You can then decide from there if you want to split that into smaller and smaller chunks creating smaller scenes. Like overall planning your novel first, then getting into the smaller sections bit at a time until you have a full break down of your novel. I would recommend writing some short stories to play with scene structure ideas and see what works best for you and your style of writing. Ask people to read and see how they react, does it flow for them, etc. You could also watch TV episodes or a movie and see if you can spot the scenes, or in books you're reading. As given in the video, Terry Pratchett is quite a good one for this as he doesn't use chapters at all, but splits the book into scenes. I hope this helps make a little more sense. Do let me know if you have further queries :)
Do you have an age range? I do read some middle grade but I don't read younger than that generally. I would highly recommend Jessica Townsend - Morrigan Crow series. SO GOOD!
Elizabeth Lim is another good Middle grade writer. I love Six Crimson Cranes and it's Prequel Her Radiant Curse. I've also heard fantastic reviews of Scandar and the Unicorn Thief. I haven't read this yet but it is on my list.
i just finished this novel today... and it was really good and im happy that the book deliver happy ending.. and most of the people havent read this novel... for me its solid 9/10
I loved it 😊 I've read the second - The Last Confession of Thomas Hawkins -and have just started the third - A Death at Fountains Abbey. Highly recommend. And agree, not met anyone else whose read Antonia Hodgson's work. Until now 😊
Of course 😊 The story continues with Tom and Kitty running Flint's book shop but a murder takes place and Tom must find out who did it or he'll be blamed. Cosy murder mystery. Quite fun 😊 I'm doing a reading vlog of the 2nd, 3rd & 4th book of my thoughts and sum ups of them all. We can compare notes if you decide to read them 📚
I love peace with the wild. I found them as they are in my local village next door to the coop and I only realised they had an online shop after going in there a lot
My string of pearls I keep in an east window on the sill and water when dry. I have two and the grow nicely. I use systemic granules to keep pests away.
I made the mistake of reading DUNE after I saw David Lynch's adaptation in 1984, and I didn't remember the book in great detail when I saw Denis Villeneuve's adaptation, so I can't critique these films as adaptations as well as would with The Lord of the Rings. That said, I felt Villeneuve's films to be as much a mixed bag as Lynch's. I fortunately got to see them in IMAX Laser, which made the viewing a real experience. If I had any negative takes, they're mostly down to choices made by the director that I disagreed with, such as his use of color during the Giedi Prime pit fighting sequence, the fight choreography or the silliness of the Holtzman shields. Overall, I'm enjoying rewatching this new adaptation while rereading the novel.
String of pearls, in my opinion is a difficult plant to grow indoors. It needs very bright indirect light, like the succulent it is. Let it dry out between waterings with filtered or distilled water. If it loves its conditions, it will do well and if not it will look bad. I have had no luck with this plant and I have been caring for houseplants for fifty years I have100 plants in my current collection (had over 250 during COVID, but had to downsize when I moved).
Yey! You too! 🥰 You started filming earlier than myself for it. I hadn't start filming book reviews until a little way on my reading journey so I might need to read the first few again just to review them to complete the playlist 😅 We shall see.
I need to re-read this one because all I really remember is the vampires realising that they've trained themselves to see religious symbols everywhere. And I might be misremembering that.

I really enjoyed this book. It was great for a debut author, tbh I don’t think the showing got in the way 2:53 of the story for me. What did take me out of the story was the unrealistic relationship Elizabeth had with the police, how she got information out of them about an active case…I just couldn’t see that happening in real life. I appreciate though, this isn’t a gritty, realistic crime novel, it’s a cosy fiction, so I should try not to bother about that. Have you read any of the other books in the series? I have the second one reserved at my library and am intrigued to see how Osman develops as an author in the next one.
I don't, my mom has it though. It's currently not a series I enjoyed enough to dip into again, but if I change my mind I will borrow her copy 😊 You're right about it being a cosy read, I tend to go to Japanese translated works for my cosy reads the most. Anything based around coffee shops/cats 😂 But I do have a book of short cosy crime stories on the TBR for next year so maybe that will sway me.
Lovely names 🥰 Bet they're adorable. Enjoy all their cuddles and mischeviousness 😂 I'm sure you'll give them many a look whilst reading Pratchett's Cat book.
I also liked it when I read it a long time ago. Should maybe re-read it again. I remember it as my first encounter with elves as pernicious and semi-godlike. I had maybe seen the midsummer nights dream movie with Kevin Cline and Christian Bale. But Oberon and Titania and the other elves never seemed dangerous or malevolent, just wanting to play a trick or two. But the elves in this book was alike to alien conquerors from sci-fi or the gods from Cabin in the Woods and with a sadistic streak as well.
Bokku was awful. I like seaweed and most snacks like that but these foods were stale and on the verge of turning bad. It stunk so much my husband literally started gagging. I tried to give the unused portions away at work and ended up pretty much just throwing it away. A waste of my money.
I know this is an old review at this point but I just finished this book and am so in love and this is the first review I’ve encountered where I think my enthusiasm is matched! So grateful I’ve come across this. I’m in that post read glow where I just want to savor the magic of this story and this helped me feel so understood! Thank you!
