Do you ever feel stuck in the "in-between" sections of your story that come after one major plot point but before the next? You're not alone. Many writers can identify the big beats of their story's structure, but find the real challenge is connecting those plot points in a way that feels organic and alive.

In this episode, K.M. Weiland shares a powerful shift in perspective: learning to see your story not just as a list of beats or acts, but as eight connected sections, each one shaped by the turning point before it and driving toward the one ahead. You'll learn how to:

• Build scene sequences instead of isolated scenes.

• Use the Intent–Reaction–New Intent rhythm to maintain momentum.

• Let each section take on its own thematic color to keep the story flowing.

Drawing examples from The Lion King, K.M. shows how the "in-between moments" are where character transformation truly unfolds. If you've ever felt your story sag between the big events, this episode will help you fill those spaces with purpose, emotion, and movement.
