With the tools in place, I was ready to dissect each scene. With
the outline, I would be able to set the pacing of each chapter. Having said
that, some scenes were now obsolete. Others were too boring. Have you
ever just skipped over a section of a chapter because it was uninteresting? Now
I was able to see that that section does not work. The goal of each scene had
to be realized, but it could not be written.
For instance, a line such as -- She was bored, cannot be
written. You must show the feeling not write it. Revised - She picked up her
sewing and immediately dropped it without making a stitch. Going to the piano,
she caressed the keys for less than a minute letting each note ring out strong
but rose from the bench before the piece was finished.
