Studying the Waking Up Scene: Is it Really That Bad?
Studying the Waking Up Scene: Is it Really That Bad?
I just want to put on my fuzzy slippers and settle in whenever I read a post at The Other Side of the Story. There’s so much knowledge to be gained there.
I have a WIP where my latest chapter begins with a scene where the MCs are waking for the day. I’ve been tinkering with this chapter for weeks, I don’t know what’s holding me up…I didn’t know. I know now–that stupid opening. But it’s like half the chapter. This article has opened my eyes to another cliched trend that spoils good writing.
Back to the drawing board.
Happy writing!
