Tips for Writing a Difficult Scene

Every writer inevitably gets to that scene that just doesn't want to work. It doesn't flow, no matter how hard you try. Well, here are some things to try to get out of that rut:

1. Change the weather

I know this doesn't sound like it'll make much of a difference, but trust me when I say it does.

Every single time I've tried this, it worked and the scene flowed magically.

2. Change the POV

If your book has multiple POV characters, it might be a good idea to switch the scene to another character's perspective.

9/10 times, this will make the scene flow better.

3. Start the scene earlier/later

Oftentimes, a scene just doesn't work because you're not starting in the right place.

Perhaps you're starting too late and giving too little context. Perhaps some description or character introspection is needed before you dive in.

Alternatively, you may be taking too long to get to the actual point of the scene. Would it help to dive straight into the action without much ado?

4. Write only the dialogue

If your scene involves dialogue, it can help immensely to write only the spoken words the first time round.

It's even better if you highlight different characters' speech in different colors.

Then, later on, you can go back and fill in the dialogue tags, description etc.

5. Fuck it and use a placeholder

If nothing works, it's time to move on.

Rather than perpetually getting stuck on that one scene, use a placeholder. Something like: [they escape somehow] or [big emotional talk].

And then continue with the draft.

This'll help you keep momentum and, maybe, make the scene easier to write later on once you have a better grasp on the plot and characters.

Trust me, I do this all the time.

It can take some practice to get past your Type A brain screaming at you, but it's worth it.

So, those are some things to try when a scene is being difficult. I hope that these tips help :)

Hey!! I finished your fic! I just need to go through and edit it. It ended up being longer than I expected but I really hope you enjoy it! Do you have any plans for your day?! - 💐

Awesome! I’m close to finishing mine. It’s also longer than I anticipated. We have to call my mother in law today. Ngl it will probably take up 3-4 hours of my day. It will be mentally draining. I love her, but she is a handful. After that, most likely curl up on the couch and watch tv while performing the struggle snuggle with my dogs.

Inasa and his super short S/O??? Please and thank you :)

Inasa is a mood. Here you go, hun, I appreciate the politeness ^-^ -Calamari

Inasa literally cannot get enough of you.

Whenever you’re in crowds and you can’t see above everyone, he’ll put you on his shoulders.

He loves being wrapped around you when you’re cuddling. He absolutely needs to hold you at all times possible.

Sometimes, just to spite you, he’ll use his quirk to boost you up to his height. This usually comes after him saying he “can’t hear you from down there.”

He loves tossing you up in the air and catching you. He finds you to be absolutely adorable.

There are some days where he genuinely wants to be closer to you so he’ll have some winds beneath you carrying you around him. 

He mostly does prefer carrying you on his shoulders, it’s the best place for him to be.

Wow, that sounds like such good fun. I wish I could do stuff like that where I live around spring! It’s usually walks in the park for me! I love tea as well! If I was going to write you the perfect spring time fic what would it have to include! Don’t be shy to tell me 👀 - 💐anon

I’m a sucker for romance. All romance. I like soft fluff, dirty deeds, and everything in between. I just love romance! Kissing and nibbles! Cuddles and piggy back ride! Flowers and gifts! I would love to see something with Inasa. That windy boy currently has my heart.

Aged up though. I’m older than the bnha class. Reading about any characters when they are their current age, which is 15/16, makes me feel gross. And creepy. So please age up any characters. Thank you!

🙏 We want you to stay with Lord Sesshomaru forever too baby! 🙏

Let's manifest with Rin 🙏🏼🕯
