Trying out SCENE CARDS from Story Genius // + Example

I'd been wanting to try out this Scene Card worksheet ever since picking up Lisa Cron's book Story Genius. I think this is a great method you can use for writing compelling and meaningful scenes in your novel!

    I LOVE reading about story structure, too. I love those moments when you were like, "This has already made me realize that there's not enough internal things happening in the first scene." Every time I sit down to read one of those books I get an idea for something I'm writing. And those moments when you think, "Yeah, I've got that in my book already," are so satisfying.

    I could not agree more! Honestly these books can be my biggest source of inspiration, and not even in a structural sense necessarily. Thank you so much for the kind words 😊

    Hi, thanks for the Nemo explanation, it was exactly what I needed. Btw, I love your editing and filming style. I've been prepping for Nanowrimo this week, and I found the Save the Cat Writes a Novel most helpful, when put together with Trudy's ideas about scenes for each Genre. I find that the more structure I have, the better ideas I come up with. I hope to see your Nanowrimo progress!

    So happy to hear this was helpful for you! I couldn’t agree more about having better ideas when knowing the structure - and Save the Cat has one of my favorite beat sheets! Best of luck to your Nanowrimo project!

    Eh mate, I really feel your passion. As a future publisher myself-and being 30 yo having worked on my craft since 9-I can really see when someone has deep passion and meaning for their craft. I think youtube channel is a great way to be accountable and keep yourself on track with your goals. I hope to continue seeing more vids from you. Be well mate. ✍️

    Really enjoyed your video! Are you a pantser or plotter? My first novel took me 6 years to write, and my second took me 6 months. Scrivener really helped me out, because it allowed me to organize my book (but there's a ton of software available now). At this point, I can write a book in about 1 to 3 months depending on genre, length, etc. Editing still takes me forever though 😂. I just subbed and I'm looking forward to seeing more videos.

    Thanks, Ang! I am a hardcore plotter - probably to the point that it hurts more than helps 😅 I love scrivener and have been using that to write this novel! Thank you so much for watching and subbing, I really appreciate it! 😊

    I disagree with with the book because I think writing scenes is with these 5 points of interest PROBLEM: CHOICE: CHANGE: SOLVE: QUESTION: Now that's the beginning for the scene. I also say put Abbie Emmons three act structure questions between each point to have great characters to drive the story.
