How to Write a Scene That Earns Its Place

How do you write a scene that actually earns its place in the story? A scene can be well "structured", full of dialogue, conflict, action, or exposition and still feel like nothing happened.
In this episode, we talk about how a scene is a specific sort of container, and how to fill it. You'll learn how to separate activity in a scene from real change, choose a change target, and use a simple "dial" to track what changes and by how much.
This approach works for outliners and discovery writers, and it leaves room for slow burns, fast changes and even intentional stillness.
Along the way, we'll use Robert McKee's Story as a jumping-off point and adapt and simplify the idea for prose fiction, comics, screenplays, and other forms of fiction.
The question to carry back to your manuscript: What will be different because you spent the reader's time here?
