3 Ways to Create a Scene List That Makes Your Editing Process (Almost) Easy
Manage episode 365955747 series 3418889
A flexible method to create a scene list with exactly the information you need—no more, no less.
For the last few weeks, I’ve been touting the magic of scene lists.
Because I do think they’re magic, or pretty darn close to it. The simple scene list is one of my absolute favorite editing tools. I wouldn’t know how to edit a book without one!
So far, I’ve covered why it’s worth making one, plus two ways to format it.
And it’s all been leading up to this: how to actually make your scene list.
That’s what I’m sharing in this episode.
You’ll learn:
- 3 different ways to make a scene list (I use ALL of these at various times!)
- When—and why!—to use each one
- The pros and cons of each type
- When in your editing process you should make a scene list
- And more!
This is a meaty episode, which isn’t really a surprise—I have a lot to say about scene lists!
And by the end of the episode, you’ll be ready to sit down, pull up your manuscript and your favorite scene list template (yes, I’ll give you two templates in the episode), and make a scene list of your very own.
