"note on the process"
|
Occasionally in the life of a writer there will come along a scene that, if you're honest with yourself, is the whole point of telling a story. The one where the whole rest of the piece is basically just there to hold it up, flavor it, and give it context. That's not to say the rest of the story is pointless, or that there aren't other parts of it that are also lots of fun and/or very important; but sometimes you get the one scene that you just know, looking at it after you're done with it, is gonna be the tent pole. The alpha dog. You read it back and you know you've got your Klaatu barada nikto. Scenes like that make all the grunt work (and yeah, sometimes writing is grunt work) worthwhile. Phil and I have written such a scene today, I think. --G. -><- Benjamin D.
