ABOUT THE ONDEMAND WEBINAR

Story plots are comprised of many different kinds of scenes, and not all scenes are created equal. Each scene type has strengths and weaknesses and satisfies different key moments in your plot in uniquely different ways. An integrated understanding of how to plot at the scene level takes your writing to new depths.

Based on the work of Martha Alderson and Jordan Rosenfeld's new book, Writing Deep Scenes, you'll learn the essentials of scene writing, an array of scene types and when to use them in designing a plot that resonates with readers long after they put your story down. You'll also learn the four key energetic markers of your plot, how your character needs to transform emotionally, and where to put scenes in order to build a page-turning plot.

Martha and Jordan have taught plot and scene for decades and have each authored several books on elements of the writing craft.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • The essentials of scene writing
  • How to show, don't tell in scenes or, in other words, demonstrate, don't lecture
  • How to incorporate the three key layers of plot in scene: Action, Emotion, and Theme
  • An array of different scene types
  • Which scene types are more versatile than others
  • Which scene types to use sparingly
  • How scene types relate to the key turning points in your plot
  • How to know which scenes go where in your story

Offers Complete Privacy
Color: Black, Size: 132in-Large Metal Base
We tried others that were nice but this particular room divider adds total privacy. We were looking for that. Easy to assemble. There is no gap if you position each petition close enough. The guality is very nice. Exactly what we were looking for.

Light and easy to move around! Still sturdy and tall like I wanted.
Color: Grey, Size: 2 Large Panels
Easily put together, work excellently for a room divider and taller than I am at 5'9" so that makes the privacy really great for our purposes. The feet turn and so you can get them out of a pathway as needed, the middle one that has two posts in it does not move but the end ones do. Very LIGHT so not hard to move around. Fabric is not see through. We have a lamp on one side and you can see the light through it but that is not an issue for us. The price is right!! most cubicle kinds of walls are so, so, so much money. With these being light and still give privacy the price was great. If you want them for sound, this is not the product for you but really most cubicle calls are not going to give you privacy other than visually anyway and these do that well. The size was accurate and so fit exactly how I needed them to and that was an important point for me. I used both of them in L shapes for my room and the size was right on.

Almost perfect
Color: Black, Size: 2 Large Panels, Color: Black, Size: 2 Large Panels
The cloth material is sturdy and fits well on the design. Both sides are black and you can't tell a difference between each side. It's extremely light weight and easily movable. We got a double and a single and the single is used as a sliding door. It's definitely not the MOST stable thing but overall it's pretty stable, probably won't work GREAT on carpet. It's not see through at all, which is great, the only downfall is the gap between the two sides. We are using a blanket to cover the gap. It's not 6 foot tall, but you can adjust the feet on it to be taller. Overall it's a great product for the price and can easily be moved out of they way.

A decent buy
Color: Black, Size: 1 Large Panel
Easy to assemble, good quality fabric, the two horizontal "feet" are supposed to be stabilized by a knob/screw but its always looosening up with even the slightest move, so the only unfortunate thig is that it requires constant turning to tighten it if you adjust its location even a teensy bit. I used it as a backdrop to hold a design of balloons, then since the party I use it as a "semi" partition in a bedroom. Good value for the money since it can be used over and over.
