If rewriting feels exhausting or overwhelming, it doesn’t mean the scene is broken — it usually means you’re trying to fix too much at once. Instead of tearing the whole thing apart, try changing one element and see what unlocks: • Stakes: What happens if your character fails right now? • POV: Would this moment be stronger from a different perspective? • Tone: What if the scene leaned more tense, quieter, darker, or lighter? • Intention: What does your character want in this scene — and how clearly is that driving their actions? • Goal: What specific outcome are they pushing toward before the scene ends? Small, intentional shifts often create big breakthroughs. You may find that the scene doesn’t need a rewrite — it just needs a clearer engine. Pick one scene you’ve been avoiding and experiment with one change today. No pressure to perfect it — just explore. Want targeted help instead of guessing? Ask S.E.A GPT (in the classroom) how to strengthen the exact scene or moment you’re rewriting and get a clear, focused direction forward.

Before the week ends, take a moment to recognize the work you did do. Share one line of dialogue from your project that you LOVE. It can be funny, raw, awkward, poetic, unfinished — it just has to feel true to your voice. Dialogue carries character, tone, and emotion. When you notice the lines that resonate with you, you start to understand what makes your writing uniquely yours. That awareness is powerful — and it’s something worth celebrating. Drop your line in the comments and, if you want, add a sentence about why it works or what it reveals about the character. Want to sharpen your dialogue, scene flow, and character arcs?

I’ve been writing so much this past week or longer yay. I wrote poems songs scenes etc .Many are inspired by true stories . I love when it just flows and adding the fiction to the real life is fun. What are y’all working on ? I’m working on several things at one time writing what ever wants to be expressed & stop trying to sugar coat it so I won’t have writers block lol. It’s therapeutic Some moments can be bittersweet thanks for this community and accountability. Please forgive any speech to text typos. Have a good weekend. Much love.
