ABOUT THE ONDEMAND WEBINAR

Story plots are comprised of many different kinds of scenes, and not all scenes are created equal. Each scene type has strengths and weaknesses and satisfies different key moments in your plot in uniquely different ways. An integrated understanding of how to plot at the scene level takes your writing to new depths.

Based on the work of Martha Alderson and Jordan Rosenfeld's new book, Writing Deep Scenes, you'll learn the essentials of scene writing, an array of scene types and when to use them in designing a plot that resonates with readers long after they put your story down. You'll also learn the four key energetic markers of your plot, how your character needs to transform emotionally, and where to put scenes in order to build a page-turning plot.

Martha and Jordan have taught plot and scene for decades and have each authored several books on elements of the writing craft.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • The essentials of scene writing
  • How to show, don't tell in scenes or, in other words, demonstrate, don't lecture
  • How to incorporate the three key layers of plot in scene: Action, Emotion, and Theme
  • An array of different scene types
  • Which scene types are more versatile than others
  • Which scene types to use sparingly
  • How scene types relate to the key turning points in your plot
  • How to know which scenes go where in your story

The cutest softest, quack, quack
Color: PINK
My seven year-old full octane energy 12 pound dog is obsessed with ducks every toy that she’s ever gotten really attached to has been a duck and I bought the same exact up from a different store at least a dozen times because she was obsessed with it. But as soon as she would get the noisemaker out of it, it was time for anyone. But it was so cheaply made I decided to start getting her different ducks that were supposed to be harder to destroy, and we still have a graveyard of destroyed ducks. But this one she doesn’t wanna destroy it. It only has one little squeaker is what I call it so she doesn’t care to try to tear it open and take it out. The material is extremely lush and soft and it is incredibly adorable. I don’t really know what makes it an interactive toy though, but I recommend it.

Puppy destroyed in days
Color: PINK, Color: PINK
My 5 1/2 month old Maltese destroyed this toy in a few days so I would definitely say it is not chew resistance.

Low/mid-tier toy at a high price point
Color: YELLOW
I have two pitbulls and they LOVE their babies! Sadly, one of them likes to tear their babies apart when he gets anxious, so it was time to look for some new ones. They seem to favor any stuffed animal can be "nommed" on (suckled), so when I came across this duck rope toy, I thought I'd give it a try! The toy arrived quickly, did not have any visible defects, and looked exactly as it does in the listing photos. It has a body filled with stuffing, crinkly arms, and a rope neck. There is one squeaker in the main body section. The minute the dogs saw me unpack the duck, they were at my feet and staring at me like "hand over the baby, woman." So, I did..... And they hated it :( For some reason, my dogs have totally rejected this toy... All they do is sniff it? They typically LOVE rope toys or anything that is elongated and allows them to play tug-o-war. So, I am not sure what the deal is with this duck. *shrug* Currently, this stuffed duck rope toy is listed for $10.49 on sale, down from the regular price of $14.99. I consider this toy to be low end to mid tier at best. It's something you would expect to find at your local discount/dollar store. Based on the lower quality, I think the current price is higher than I would be willing to pay for this toy. While the toy is exactly as depicted in the listing photos, it is nothing special and definitely is NOT "indestructible."

Durable and my pup loves it
Color: YELLOW, Color: YELLOW
My pup loves squeaky toys. The problem is she also likes to tear up the toy to get the squeaky out. Finding a toy that she enjoys and it have the durability to stand up to her is a challenge. I decided to give the CJZJPV Plush goose a try and I’m glad I did. She absolutely loves the toy and it has stood up to her chewing and shaking. The thing I notice about many dog toys is there always seems to be a bad seam or weak spot in the toy. My pup will find this imperfection and go ahead to dismantle the toy. The seams on the CJZJPV are done well and there are no protruding eyes or flaw for her to get her teeth into. This is a good, durable dog toy.
