Is like shaving off prison tattoos a square inch at a time. Maybe. So far it works like this. I'll read the last scene that WORKED and then the new victim, the next one and the one that follows it. If it fails on enough fronts - and I've had more than half do just that, I brood over the truth of it. The five 'whys'. Then I start the autopsy. Print and then redact - just like in the movies- with the broad, black marker anything that's crap. Anything that's not a jewel. Then I brood on it some more and find a different way to set some, not all of those jewels. A setting that not only makes the scene worthwhile but nods to the one before it and sets up the next. Dominos dipped in nitro.
