The 5 Essentials of a Scene, with Story Grid Certified Editors Anne Hawley and Rachelle Ramirez

In this 60-minute session, Story Grid Certified Editors Anne Hawley and Rachelle Ramirez will lead you through the five essential elements you need to write compelling scenes that will have readers itching to turn the page.

Funny, (at least to me), I'm from Oregon and when I heard the complications and crisis, my immediate thought was to go to Roseanna's Cafe in Oceanside instead of Cannon Beach.

What's interesting. Other instructors/theorists state that "why now?" or urgency or a ticking clock is a necessary component. You don't state it explicitly but it's still built in to the made up example. If she doesn't get to the beach today, it might be a very long time before she can get there.
