Overview

Main vs Scenario shows which scenes have moved between the current story order and the sandbox version.

When Should I Use This?

Use it when deciding whether the scenario's structure is actually clearer, stronger or more suspenseful.

How To Use It

Look at each moved scene and ask what changes in setup, payoff, character knowledge and pacing.

Example

Moving a confrontation earlier may increase pace but weaken the evidence trail that made it believable.

Writer Tip

Scene movement always changes context. Compare what the reader knows before and after each moved scene.

Common Mistakes

  • Evaluating moved scenes in isolation.
  • Forgetting that character knowledge may change with order.
  • Applying a scenario without checking moved scenes.
