Every novel has common parts of scenes, such as moving the plot forward, revealing character, motivation, inner/external conflict, etc. These universal necessities will make up the first part of the workshop and be fleshed out and explained.

In addition, romance has some specific things readers expect to see. In the other half of this workshop we'll dive deeper into:
Meet cute
First kiss
Confession/realization of love
Rough patch/breakup
Love proven
Reunion/HEA/HFN

There will also be a checklist of things a writer should ask themselves about every scene while they're first crafting the scene and as they're revising. This checklist includes topics like:

Is there a strong opening hook?
Does the scene portray a proper passage of time?
Are you providing valuable information to the reader?
Is the scene showing and not telling?

A second checklist will talk about some gotchas many authors are plagued by.

This workshop is geared toward both beginning writers and more advanced authors.
Class Format

The forum will be available the morning (EST) of the day the workshop starts and will remain accessible to all participants thereafter. You will also be given simple instructions on how to create a PDF of all your discussions along with our privacy and data retention policy.

Great information in the class, and I loved the logical way the class unfolded. I've got a nice template to follow when I review scenes I've written. My only constructive criticism was the lack of homework diminished the value. Without it, I missed the interactive part of Savvy Authors classes that I really enjoy. It helps the information to be used more practically. Overall, though, the class delivered with helpful content.
