In reply to MINDY ALYSE WEISS. It's so easy to forget that readers don't know where things are going and can't assume what the protagonist is thinking about, right? Thanks for reading!

I love this post so much, Lisa! I had just explained that this was missing from a couple of novels in my critique group and shared this link to help them. They all loved your amazing advice, too. 🙂

In reply to BECCA PUGLISI. It's so easy to toss in regular progress reports, and it does so much for the scene and character! Thanks for sharing this article.

This is good stuff, Lisa. We don’t spend enough time talking about scene structure—and that’s what we’ve got here, the character’s response to what’s happening in the scene. Thanks for digging a little deeper into this 🙂
