Here’s my review of Jack M. Bickham’s Scene and Structure, which I just finished reading. I found it excellent and very clearly laid out. As I mention in the review, the closer your book is to being a thriller, the more relevant you will find the advice (and even then it may not all work for you, but what advice works all the time)?
I’ve also posted extensive notes under the hashtag #sceneandstructure if you want to look through them.
Apologies to my Writing Techniques notify circle – I can’t see how to notify from my tablet. I’ll try to remember to re-share with notification tomorrow when I’m on a PC.
And if anyone wants to join the notification circle, my goal this year is to review a writing technique book roughly every month. I’ll share those reviews with the circle.

I’ve read this one as well as the others in the Elements series. The scene/sequel structure makes sense and (along with a lot of other great advice) guided the action in my current novel.
