I hope you're enjoying this series. Don't forget to grab your workbook! (Link in Description) and I'll be back next week for a discussion on conflict and tension in your scenes.
Loving this new series so far. ❤️ Thanks for all the amazing content you share!
I love this series!!
being a first time writer i wish i could talk to you in person because i'm seriously struggling with what i want to write
Me : Can t write today. No motivation, depressed and on my period.
Sarra: how to write a scene
My brain : fine ill try a little..
❤️
This series is exactly what I need right now. I wish the entire series was available for me to binge!! Love your work!!!! Thank you so much.
Thanks Sara! Great series!!! I'd love it if you could analyze some of the quieter scenes that don't have a lot of apparent conflict.
You're a great teacher, Sarra! Thank you for the step-by-step!
Love the video, and KM Weiland’s writing resources are my absolute favorite! Her writing is so comprehensive and thorough I hardly ever have questions after reading her content. I also enrolled in your upcoming course - can’t wait.
It is so fun to wait for these videos...the happiness of seeing that notification 🤗
Already know that when the series is done I will rewatch it all❤
Thank you Nilda!
This advice is great for playwrights, too.
While watching I took so many notes!!!! The cool thing is, that I was just about to edit my children's novel and go for it scene by scene. So what a perfect timing to see you video! Thank you!
Love this!
Oh your timing Sarra! Just when I needed this! Thanks ans well done!
So helpful, thank you!
Thank you, Sarra! Looking forward to implementing in my WIP.
Thank you. Very helpful!
Thank you for the great video! I’ve learned so much!
Loving this series! Thanks for all the book recs...I actually own, and have read, several of them. 😊
Thank you for this series! This little video is packed with helpful nuggets that felt like treasures revealed. You have a way of explaining things that opens mind boxes for me. And I’m definitely adding the book recommendations to my “study the craft” list.
Great segment Sarra, I am learning so much about scene writing! You mentioned a link to KM Weiland's blog posts about scenes but I don't see it? Looking forward to #3!
hi thx ! It was very interesting. For the question of who speak (pov), I ask myself too what do I want to show to the readers, and who will be the funniest in this situation ? (sorry for my english). XD
In two of my five opening chapters, my MC doesn’t have a goal. Instead, he’s meeting important side chapters. The point is to establish how they relate to him. This is so when they die/go crazy in the future, the reader understands how much of an impact it has on the MC and why he makes the decisions he does from that point. Curious what your thoughts are on this?

I always ask my character what she wants and what she fears.
Im a bit confused. These questions don't align with the workbook
