Wright’s Writing Corner: Payloads and Gnomes
Here are the links for the last two of the beautiful and talented Mrs. Wright’s Wright’s Writing Corner, on the Payload Moment, part one and two.
Excerpt:
Payload: Every scene/fight/sex scene should have some moment that moves the plot along or heightens awareness, drawing the reader into something greater. Villains should reveal something important during a fight, and romantic partners should learn more about each other or reveal secrets.
Also, every character should have at least one paragraph/scene where they reveal their inner motivation.
Payload: Probably the most important concept in these Writing Tips. If I had to rank them from most important to least important, this one would be number one.
