I basically know what happens but constructing the scenes and filling in the details is challenging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Write It: The dark night of the soul\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The part I\u2019ll be working on soon is the \u201cdark night of the soul\u201d for my characters, and the territory in this section is less familiar to me than some of the other parts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Even though I do have an outline<\/strong>, I\u2019ve been writing scenes out of sequence as the mood strikes me. I don\u2019t normally write a narrative out of sequence but that\u2019s what has kept me moving forward on this project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other day I was working on a scene just to see where it went.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Write It: I couldn\u2019t get it out of my mind\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first part wouldn\u2019t get out of my mind, and usually when I write something down it makes room for me to focus on the next thing. I didn\u2019t even know if I would keep this scene or just put it away somewhere and forget about it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>As it turned out<\/strong>, what I thought would be a barely consequential, bordering-on-self-indulgent scene that would really have no business here when it was all said and done, turned out to be key in setting off events that lead to pivotal moments in the rest of the story.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I knew I\u2019d have the later scenes, but the scene I wrote just to write it and move on turned out to be the thing that would spin the action in the right direction. It turned out to be the gateway to the third and final part, and the actions the characters take during that scene and as a result of it, change everything. It leads directly to where love and loyalty are tested, and where trust is everything.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Write It: That Nearly Throw-away scene\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How did all that come about from a nearly-throw-away scene? It may very well be that a scene has no place in a work, and that you write it and move on, editing it out of the final version, if it even makes it that far.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, it may be a portal to the right ending.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Just like you\u2019ll never know if you could have done it if you don\u2019t try to do something difficult<\/strong>, you may not find the right door if you don\u2019t attempt to build it. It\u2019s always worth the effort. And from there, things that you were struggling with just might start to click into place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s appreciate the little things: the little scenes, the little pleasures and the little acts of kindness and compassion to get through this time of big uncertainty\u2014one day at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Happy writing!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">***<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20200227_100246.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"http:\/\/www.nevada-mcpherson.com noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-23031\" title=\"Nevada McPherson\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20200227_100246-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Nevada McPherson\" width=\"150\" height=\"84\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20200227_100246-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20200227_100246-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20200227_100246-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20200227_100246-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20200227_100246-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20200227_100246-640x360.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>Originally from Georgia, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nevada-mcpherson.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nevada McPherson<\/a> lived in uptown New Orleans for many years and now lives with her husband Bill and rescue Chihuahua, Mitzi in Milledgeville, GA where she is a professor of Humanities at Georgia Military College.
