Scene Structure Techniques

This is a comprehensive scene-building framework that walks you through the Scene-Sequel model: goal, conflict, disaster for action beats, then emotion, dilemma, decision for reaction beats. It generates beat-by-beat outlines with escalation points and helps you track tension levels across chapters so you're not exhausting readers with constant high-intensity or boring them with too much low. The checklist approach is methodical, maybe too structured if you prefer intuitive drafting, but genuinely useful for diagnosing why a scene drags or feels generic. It integrates with novel-writer workflows by saving scene outlines as reference files. The source is in Chinese but covers practical problems like managing multiple characters in group scenes and balancing physical space clarity.
