How to Write a Novel - Scene by Scene

Writing a novel (or short story) is like eating an elephant: you do it one bite at a time.  'Scenes' are the bite-sized building blocks of a story and this one-day course will show you how to construct a narrative scene by scene.  We will explore how the structure of a scene can be used to play with and subvert a reader's expectations; how to control pacing and plot revelations to increase tension, and how to manipulate scenes to make your stories lively, coherent and compelling.
