Writing #8

Type of Writing:

Episode scene

Background or information to be considered:

So, the scene is set in a bar which revolves around two girls named Caity and Jillian. They are best friends who are enjoying a night out at the local bar with friends and family. The scene that I’m on is when the girl’s just turned down shots. The band that is playing who are friends of the two girls stops the music to announce that they just signed a deal for their first record. The girls are happy for them voice their thoughts on how it is great. I can’t figure out where to go from there on to the next scene. It has to flow into where Hachi asks Jillian if they can talk privately but I’m having a hard time coming up with a transitioning dialogue that leads to that conversation. I’m posting below what I have for that part. It’s not much at all but I’m just stuck in a rut.

SCRIPT INSERT

@CAITY is idle_happy and JILLIAN is idle_happy

JILLIAN (talk_excited)
That’s great for them!

CAITY (talk_happy_agree)
They’ve been pretty successful since I left for school!

JILLIAN (talk_happy_agree)
They have been working their ass off this whole year to get to this point!

The feedback they are looking for quoted from their exact response:

“Help me figure out how to transition to the next scene more naturally. I’m getting writers block because of this one part for the story. Any suggestions will be helpful!”

@Episodians maybe you could help on this one?

I can make a new post. Just add to details that it’s an edited version. I’ll make sure to quote the post of your first draft so they know.

or ever wanted? I feel like this sentence isn’t quite pleasurable. Maybe you should change it to “or the reason why you wanted to go to that manor in the first place”

I love it so far! All I have to say is to probably change the part I said before and re-read for grammar errors.

Question, where are you writing this? I would love to read it when it is completed.
