Books are made of chapters, and chapters are made of scenes. Those segments of the story are what hold the whole thing together. Write them well, and you have a page-turner. Write them not so well, and…zzzzzz.
No writer wants to do that to their readers, so it’s worth figuring out what makes a scene good.
