The hardest scenes to write for these novels is often the most important — scenes that link the more important scenes together. If you’re writing a longer type novel, there are going to be plenty of scenes — often called “sequels” — that aren’t all that exciting but have to exist to give the work some sort of ebb and flow.
It’s fun and easy to write scenes that are exciting. And beginning scenes, to some extent, are also easy to write because you have they have the implied excitement of being at the beginning of the story.
Then you have scenes that are very important and yet don’t have much action. What’s worse, they can be a lot of work to write because, by definition, you have to show what’s going on in the scene in an interesting manner — even though the scene is just showing building block information.
Anyway. Back to writing.
