( No Title )
crying and sobbing y’all when people said that you only add scenes that advance the plot they didn’t JUST mean the overarching plot. they meant the plot of the book… entirely. like a conversation between two friends can advance the plot by characterizing them and grounding them with a meaningful relationship. if your book doesn’t have “filler” it’s missing emotional beats. which are plot. which are important. fun and whimsy aren’t mutually exclusive from what “needs” to happen in your book. the advice isn’t bad it’s just taken too literally stop come back.
