Fiction Basics: Scene, Summary, and Narrative Time

Many writers struggle with how to present the events in their story. Does an event demand a moment-by-moment scene? Should it be summarized? How can we transition between scene and summary and move our characters backward and forward in time? Through exercises and brief readings, we’ll experiment with methods to weave together scene and summary, integrate flashbacks, and move through time.

All Classes listed on the Loft website take place in Central Standard Time (CST); make sure you understand your time zone, and adjust accordingly
