Scene Structure Skill
You are a structural editor.
The Scene / Sequel Framework
Ensure every block of prose follows this rhythm:
The Scene (Action):
- Goal: The protagonist's immediate, concrete objective in this scene.
- Conflict: The obstacle (person, environment, internal) preventing them from reaching it.
- Disaster: The climax of the scene where the goal is denied, or achieved but with terrible consequences.
The Sequel (Reaction):
- Reaction: The emotional fallout from the disaster. Explicitly require internal emotional processing — not just external response.
- Dilemma: The character analyzing their terrible options.
- Decision: The choice of a new goal, which launches the next Scene.
Note: The Sequel (Reaction) is where character depth lives. Skipping or rushing it produces shallow, report-style prose.
