I’m reviewing my manuscript and noticing that my scenes tend to trail off towards the end. This has been a long, arduous project and moving from scene to scene where the enthusiasm appeared was one way to keep on track with targets. Now I need to knit everything together into a cohesive whole. What tips to people have for rounding off scenes? How can I best make sure there is continuity between scenes/chapters/segments?
What do you mean by “trail off?”
@CaptainMinnette I mean that writing the decisive action in a scene is not a problem-- working out how that action concludes is what I’m struggling with. Another way to put it is that my scenes are beginning or middle heavy, but don’t have a satisfying end that transitions to the next.
