Creative Writing | Scene By Scenes and Beat Sheets

A scene by scene is a list of each point or turn in your narrative. While not used to outline every stage in your story, beat sheets can draw your attention to each hook or powerful story moment: Both techniques enable you to create and edit simultaneously by allowing you to feel what works and what doesn't before writing endless pages of potentially redundant details and dialogue. Think of them as text-only versions of storyboarding or a to-do list on steroids!

Scene by scenes and beat sheets is also a godsend for team management - an excellent tool for ensuring everyone knows the story inside out (or well enough). You can delegate the points to your team members or writers' room in a way that you see fit. The activities and resources provided will support you in identifying both techniques and applying them to your screenplay, stage play, audio, online and manuscript projects.
