How to Write Engaging Scenes and MRU 1-8

Please visit http://www.masteredit.netii.net
This eight part series covers how to write engaging scenes, the scene sequel, or inhale exhale scene type. Then it covers MRU in an easy to understand way. MRU, instead of being looked at as medication reaction units can be viewed as action reaction.

Automatic response. Shivers. Adrenaline rush.
Teary eyed. Gasp. Jerk reaction. Cuss. Shaking. Throw arms up. Flinch. Heart pounding.

Willful bodily response. A physical response in reaction to an outside source. Pulling away. Jumping. Slapping.

Speech. Character says something in response to the outside source.

Thoughts. Thoughts or introspection in direct response to the outside source.

Counter Actions:

Body. Does she do something else as a counter action? An example would be, she punched the person in the nose. Now she is taking control of the situation, rather than things just being done to her.

Speech. Does she say something to take control of the situation?

Thought. Do her thoughts shift to taking control of the situation?

Hey man, thanks to you my writing is going from school work to professional novel development. I used to think that I would never like my works, but thanks to your videos, I'm really happy with my new results. I'm actually writing now. Thank you.

@Channel23tv You're welcome.

I don't really get this. So, every single part of our written thing has to be about a character trying to achieve something? Well, I get this about the like, large battles where they are trying to win and opponents and other things block their path but, what about just doing something simple? Like walking to a location? Or talking? Its not like there is some kind of obstacle and the character is gunna fail like 90 times.

Then the walking to the location shouldn't be in the story. What is the purpose? Now,if you did some character building with that travel time, then that is fine. At least something that advances the story is taking place. I recommend adding humour or something to that part.

But if nothing happens but the traveling time, then just sum it up. They traveled for five hours and reached blah blah.

Arch, this is cheeky of me, I know, but I have three manuscripts worth of novels *cough* hopeful novels. My mind is going crazy, its filled with these ideas than none of them are good enough and I keep swtiching from one to another.

Thus, I am losing the plot of them all and going over every bloody sentence time and time again.

I feel like I should restart, throw 4 years worth of work away and restart with a new plot.

How would you over come this?

Thank you in advance,

PF
