Gotham writers and scenes


A peaceful scene in a local churchyard - and all those lovely shades of green showing nicely.
Now for scenes -
each must have 3 things - relevance to the MDQ, a clash of objectives plus a structure of its own.
Relevance -move the plot along, either by introducing conflict or adding character depth
Conflict - tension or struggle of some kind
Structure - keep objectives out of reach, force the protagonist to shift tactics
Linked Scenes then form sequences. Simple. Ha! Now to try doing it!
