The one thing leads to the next.

Follow how the scenes are built.

Something is happening, maybe a spy is lying, so you change your tack and pretend to retreat, drawing in the spy.

The one thing leading to the next.

The spy’s lying leads you to your switch. 

See how the writer wrote the flow of the situation and how your character follows the movement.

It’s simple, isn’t it? 

But key. Action to action. Beginning, middle, end - new beginning.

Now you’re backtracking, trying to lure the spy into giving over the information. Suddenly the spy reveals news, a secret that you didn’t know she had. Leading you onto something new.

Learn the simple progress of the scene. It may seem obvious, but the naturalness of how life unfolds—one thing leading to the next – is grounding.

You can’t add anything flowery on the scene until you have a solid base.
