Unveiling Jeffrey Lieber: The Untold Secrets Behind His Masterful Storytelling
The story only has a really interesting beginning, a compelling middle and a surprising end. Maybe, that has a theme, maybe it doesn’t. I feel it depends on the writer. To me, it lies sort of pocket below story, but for some people it’s the first thing they work off of.
Scott: What do you think about when you’re writing a scene? Do you have goals in mind and, if so, what are they?
Jeff: I have to know what the scene is there for. Is it there to move a plot piece forward? Is there to reveal a character trait? That’s one of the things I learned later in writing is how to be as surprising as possible. If the end of the scene is obvious from the beginning of the scene, there’s no point to having the scene. If the beginning of the scene is we’re going to dig for treasure, at the end of the scene you find the treasure, you don’t have much of a scene.
