#192: How To Write Your First And Final Scenes


Listen Later

Do you write your first scene over and over, trying to get it just right? But you never feel like you're nailing it?

Many writers spend way too much time on their opening scene without considering its role in the main character's entire arc of change. 

There's a relationship between your first scenes and last scenes.

To take the reader on the journey along with your character,  you want to craft your opening and ending scenes with each other in mind.

In this episode, we'll look at the relationship between your first scenes and final scenes, and how to write them.
