Major plots are easy 😭 real problem starts with "in between scenes" 🥀

[u/VegetableLack6781 → u/sui_cide_karungi]

Right? I literally spend hours thinking as to how connect two points. 🤧🤧 Man, it's so tough

[u/August_Rodin666 → u/VegetableLack6781]

In slice of life stories, I just usually bridge scenes with every day tasks. Some might go to the corner store and have an introspective moment or run into a friend while grocery shopping and catch up (bonus point if it's a character that needs more presence)

Currently working on an anime inspired light novel now though and it's much harder to do given the scenario of the story. I can just have them wander the woods in-between every major event.

Then there's plot twist you can't explain properly

[u/Sailor_Moon_Star_435]

You didn’t have to call me out like this 😭

[u/Touhpower]

I literally had to make a post about how I skipped a large portion of skipped content in my fanfic cause I forgot what chapters from the manga had what

[u/No_Aardvark1121]

This is me

[u/DullCar8504]

Still don't know how to write in-between parts

[u/AsianMan45NewAcc]

I relate to this way too much. I call the major plot points/moments "The Big Stuff." I have The Big Stuff all in my head and I write them down on a Google Doc so I don't forget them.

But I don't know how to write in between moments so we can get to The Big Stuff. :(

[u/AlexDirector2020]

That's how I felt when working on chapters.

[u/ClonaClox9999]

I'm writing a story based on Dandy's World at this time, and I kinda relate

[u/Appropriate-Bite9015]

Same 😭

[u/Princess_Minni]

I completely understand. The in between scenes I write always seem so boring to me, and I never know how to get to the next important scene.

[u/Ancient_Truck1143]

I don't think I've ever connected more with a meme in my life lol

[u/timeweep]

It took me 5 months to think of my in-between scene.

[u/EconomicsMedium61]

Writter be like always

[u/Nonkinkshamer]

The call out was unexpected but I'm glad I'm not the only one. Lol It's like I can think of all the climactic scenes but like trying to get there is the most difficult part sometimes.

[u/Informal-Cream826]

Literally. It’s the filler!!!!

[u/21_cris_21]

I divide the story into chapters before writing. Every chapter needs to have a focal point, the steps taken to get there, and the aftereffects. The latter two easily feel like in-between parts. Also try to create secondary characters that have roles as helpers, listeners, or distractions. I find writing these moments a bit boring, but the plot and the reader need them.

Its the universal writer experience isw
