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 :)

Thank you for sharing your experiences at the convention where Kenny and the cast were! I feel so awful for them that Netflix had been silent for basically two years; these are jobs for the actors! If Hulu or Disney+ was to take pick up JATP, do you have a preference for which? To be entirely honest, I would hope if Disney got its hands on it, it would go to Hulu. Especially if Kenny wanted it to be an older demographic, but also because I'd trust Alex/Will's relationship being shown with Hulu.

I honestly don’t know.

Like you said, Disney aren’t great with gay relationships- but if they picked it up, they could continue it in the same vein as Netflix did. Plus Kenny has a relationship with Disney.

I don’t know much about Hulu as I’m in the UK and it’s not a channel we have here.

[vicesvsvirtuesfanfic]

So, I was in Paris for the convention when we found out about the cancellation of JATP.

Kenny admitted he'd known about a week, but wanted to tell the cast face to face. They all got together on the Friday evening for dinner, and that's when the cast found out. The day before they were due to meet 100s of fans.

Watching them all on stage getting upset because fans were crying was heartbreaking. Especially Jadah and Madison. Those girls broke my damn heart, but I was able to give them both a hug as a momma of a child the same age. Seeing Charlie unable to speak because he was trying not to openly cry in front of us all was so hard, and Sacha was such a sweetheart during his speech about the show, the cast, and the fans allowing him to finally own his own style and sense of self.

Kenny said he doesn't want to let the show die because of us.

From what I've been able to glean, Netflix didn't know how to market the show. Kenny and the writers originally wanted to aim it at an older demographic, but Netflix felt they needed something aimed at younger viewers. But they didn't just get young fans. That gave them marketing issues.

I overheard Owen telling a fan who was getting his autograph that the Willex hug outside the Orpheum was originally written as a kiss, but 'it didn't work'. Not sure if that was the writers or Netflix's decision.

All I know is that show with such amazing representation has been cancelled and it's heartbreaking for those fans who identify with the Latina lead, the amazingly supportive African American best friend, the anxiety riddled gay man who has supportive friends, the characters who have lost parents, the characters who have lost the love of their life. And Netflix doesn't care.

This petition has over 136,000 signatures. Will it work? No one knows, but we need to try something. We need to be able to say we tried.
