What You'll Learn

Welcome to Satisfying Scenes, an eight-week journey designed to polish your storytelling skills by mastering the dynamic structure of Satisfying Scenes. This course will focus on the key elements of scene structure: Goal, Disruption, Choice, Turning Point, Reaction, and New Goal. This effective structure will empower you to craft scenes that resonate with your readers and propel your narrative forward.

Each week, you will focus on one of these elements, delve into its importance, discuss effective techniques to establish it, and analyze scenes where it is well-utilized. The lessons will use scenes from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to illustrate these elements and demonstrate their impact on storytelling. They will also allow you to explore these techniques in your writing.

Moreover, crafting a scene differs from creating a chapter. Therefore, a lesson dedicated to distinguishing between a scene and a chapter is included in the course. This will ensure you have all the necessary tools to write compelling narratives.

By the end of this course, you will have gained a robust understanding of Satisfying Scenes and honed your ability to apply this understanding in creating engaging, tension-filled scenes that steer your narrative deftly. My promise to you is not just an enhancement of knowledge, but an upgrade in your practical writing skills, taking your craft to new heights.

I'm excited to begin this journey with you, exploring the art of scene creation and refining your writing skills. Let's get started!
