What has your favorite scene in your current WiP been?

I started writing, and it went surprisingly smoothly, considering I'm writing in a setting I've never done before, with characters I've never written before! I had one of those delightful moments where by writing the character I suddenly realized what her motivation was, and what the overall arc of the story was. But my favorite scene at the moment is the one I'm currently in the middle of writing, where she meets a group--well, kind of a cult, but a very cheerful cult--that travels around the apocalyptic wasteland in a dilapidated Winnebago, collecting toys and souvenirs of the World Before, so the inside of the RV is just floor-to-ceiling broken old Disney toys and superhero merch.

I hope whatever you're writing or have just finished writing is your favorite scene in progress this week!

Sounds like you are in uncharted waters. :)

My favorite scene? Pretty gruesome one (it's for Evil), but it needs careful crafting. The tone of the series can be tricky.

Considering the comments I've gotten on the story, it worked! :)

P.S. I think you should give Evil a try. The writing is top-quality. I don't usually watch horror, either, but this drew me in. :)

Ohhhhhhh, interesting question Two WIPs and with one it's the first meeting of them - where one is taking the place of the bad guy jailer and the other is the prisoner - and the prisoner doesn't realize the other isn't the bad guy.

It's not a fun scene in the "fun" sense but very dark and fraught with tension but enjoyed crafting it and exploring all the emotions.

The other one is certainly the first talk between two characters who are from really different worlds and one of them realizing that he's sad to have lost his home but at the same time he's in a world full of opportunities that he didn't know where open to him. And that suddenly open a new path to him. so in contrast to the above it was very hopeful. ^^
