A Writing Tool Built by an Editor
Scenes are what make up stories. When you focus in on the fine elements that make up your scenes (characters, conflict, value shift, etc.) and create your story, you give yourself the space to see your story at both the high level and the structural level. Doing this makes structural and content edits a breeze.
A lot of writers spin their wheels trying to figure out why their stories don’t work. Why aren’t readers understanding the stakes of the story? Who is the main character of the story? How do I get readers to feel the payoffs are earned?
The Scene Builder is a free tool that helps you:
- Track how many scenes your story actually has
- See where conflict is missing or underdeveloped
- Understand your story’s structure
- Catch gaps in your story
The Scene Builder is for any writer who wants to know how their story works at any stage of the writing process. Created and built by Hugo Award winning editor and published author Aigner Loren Wilson.
