When I say ‘scene’, I’m talking about a specific segment of a larger story that contains its own miniature story arc. Scenes can flow one into the other or be separated with a scene break. Usually, a change of time or setting has occurred between scenes, but not always. Sometimes a scene is synonymous with a chapter. Other times, one chapter might include multiple scenes.
