Lesson Three Eyeopener

[lesliegeorgeson]

I didn't see a whole lot of comments about Lesson 3, so I thought I'd share mine... Of the three lessons so far, this one has helped me the most. I've discovered scenes that are actually 3-4 scenes in one, found places where I couldn't find conflict or antagonists, etc...It really has me analyzing my scenes in a way I've never done before (I swear I've never come across any type of book or class like this!). Though I already had notecards from when I first wrote the book, they weren't in the SFR format that this course suggests, so I had to redo all of them with this new knowledge, which really helped me figure out exactly what I had. If anyone else has any comments about lesson 3, I'd love to hear about your experiences/eyeopeners, etc. Thanks!

Lesson 3 is a corker, all right. Like you, I found a lot of stuff in my book that took some doing to justify. It's also a hot topic, or has been.
