#writerscoffeeclub Sept 4: Do you have specific goals when creating a scene?

Always, yes.

Goals might include:

🔹Giving the reader some specific information without resorting to exposition.
🔹Showing the progression of a relationship, platonic or otherwise.
🔹Providing some levity between more challenging scenes.
🔹Giving the reader some idea where the story is going and what to expect.
🔹Wrong footing the reader with an unexpected change or twist.
🔹Playing with the reader's emotions. Fear, joy.
