19th September is the release day in the UK 😊

@@RobynWeightman I want to ask one more question where can I find the release date and all genuine information about the book?

From any bookshop online or in person 😊

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 :)

I was thinking last night and if the taking if the artefact is elaborate (more than just grabbing and running,) then you could create 4 scenes 😊

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!

@@RobynWeightman yeah middle grade would be fun..

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 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 😊

@@RobynWeightman would you please tell me what's the second book about

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 📚

Ooooo thank you! We mainly have south or north facing windows but two west facing I could try 🥰 Will look up the granules 🌱

@@RobynWeightman try the south facing window right on the sill or if that’s too much sun just pull it pack a foot.

Thank you 🥰 At the moment it is to the side of the south facing window but I will try putting it in more direct and see how it does 💚

It's HUGE right?! Thank you so much for bringing it into my life 💚🌱

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).

Wow, thank you! I'll give this a try 🌱

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.

@@RobynWeightman HA HA, Discworld fans are nothing if not completionists 🤣

They train themselves to not be injured by them. Likewise with Holy Water and Garlic 🤣

Omg, so true! How could I forget that 😱 Well, my years just got harsher 🤣

Thank you 🥰

The movie pronunciation definitely rolls off the tongue easier 😊 I'm guessing there's a hidden meaning/joke behind the pronunciation in the book 😅

Thank you, I should have put the hood up. It has ears 😂

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.

Thank you! So Pratchett may have been a Blackadder Fan :)

@@RobynWeightman most likely, and probably for the time one of the lesser obscure references of his.

Oooo what are your cats names? 🥰 I hope you enjoy the book.

the younger one is a tuxedo named Athena and the older one is a tortoiseshell named Tilly@@RobynWeightman

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.

Thank you! It was indeed 😂

@@RobynWeightman no worries, it's been a while since I read the book but it's definitely not a word I use IRL.

So I make it look like I knew what I was doing all along when in fact I was improvising

I'll have to get the name of the person who made it. Super fluffy and warm! 😜 he he Thank you! 💚
