How to Write Kick-Ass Scenes

How to Write Kick-Ass Scenes by Lynn Johnston is a fantastic resource for fiction authors. Lynn has already been one of my favorite fiction teachers for quite some time now, and this latest workshop of hers covers one of the most crucial aspects of fiction writing: making sure your scenes aren’t boring.

You see, it really doesn’t matter how great your plot is, or how well-developed your characters are if the scenes aren’t properly structured. Scenes are what move the story, and if that part isn’t working, the story doesn’t work. Period.

So take a look at this list of scene problems and ask yourself if you recognize your own story issues:

  • slow scenes
  • boring scenes
  • meandering scenes
  • scenes without enough conflict
  • low-tension scenes
  • scenes without a climax
  • scenes that don’t move the story forward

Lynn’s workshop will show you how to fix all of these by writing stronger scenes, using scene structure techniques at both the macro and micro level.

I asked Lynn to give my readers some insight into how to use her new course, depending on their writing style. Whether you are a pantser or a plotter, or even if you hire a ghostwriter to write your stories, How to Write Kick-Ass Scenes will help you make your fiction stronger.

Watch the short video walk-through to see how, and to get a peek inside the course at what you can expect to learn.

Getting Banned from Amazon Pre-Order Privileges

curationgrapicThe ability to allow pre-orders of your books is a new function on the Kindle Direct Publishing platform. It sounds like a pretty handy thing to offer, but before your rush into it, maybe you should read about Derek Murphy’s experience with getting banned for a year due to an error in the system: How to use Kindle pre-orders to pre-sell your self-published book

Advice from Derek:

Make sure you upload a final ver­sion of your book at least 10 days (2 weeks to be safe) before the pub­lish­ing date, since the con­se­quences appear to be dire.
