That All Important First Scene

Content

“Okay, let’s go over the first scene.”“Right, but let’s do it on the go, ‘cause we’ve gotta move, and I mean now.”Logan Steele sets off at fast trot, hurrying down the hallway of the ubiquitous Government Agency Headquarters. His long legs carry his broad-shouldered, powerfully built body along at brisk pace. I hurry to keep up with him, panting for breath in only a few strides.“Think we could slo...

Outstanding reviews

What a fantastic take on the prompt! Loved this struggle between writer and character. The writer getting called out by the character is awesome. 😂 congrats on the win!
So much fun, great banter, so much action, timing on point, how do you do that?! Congratulations!
I loved the writer running along side his own character - great premise. Well written and engaging!
I really enjoyed the fast paced narrative and the meta aspects of the story. Brilliant!
Congratulations on this well deserved win! Your story was original, something I haven't seen before. I loved the way the writer and his fictional character play off each other. Loved the humor in this as well.
I love love love meta fiction. This is exactly how most of us talk to our characters. Throw in something about a workshop the writer took (which is probably where the remark about the adverbs came from) or some allusion to The Hero's Journey or something some editor said and this is what every writer goes through.
Great fun Ian. I love this concept and have done something similar in the past. Love a bit of meta and this was full of laughs. Congratulations!
Totally deserved the win, I really enjoyed this all the way through. I love the idea of this writer kind of running with the character, capturing the scene as it goes but also creating it. The character insulting his literal creator is hilarious. Congrats!

Excellent. Loved it. So fun.
Your writing is awesome! You have a clean, easy to read style and your pacing is great. Loved it.
Incredible! I love it so much! Hilarious. So clever. Wow, amazing. What a pleasure to spend some time today reading this super story. Thank you!!!!
Totally enjoyed this! Congratulations!
I’m going to do this with my characters!!! Wow, so much fun to read… my charries will get a kick out of this
Love this Ian. Very meta. My fav bits was them arguing over the cars and when he tells him what he thinks... and he edits it out. Great tongue in cheek humour and use of cinema stereotypes.
Fantastic, Ian! I was sucked in from the beginning. Loved the pace. The twist was unexpected. The writer in me was head-nodding all the way to the last words (including the ly words, so maybe I should say that I was nodding knowingly).Bye, bye, Logan! On to the next scene.
And congrats on the win! Well deserved. Perfect take on the prompt.
Really good story - the character scolding the writer was fantastic :)
