In this episode, Dialogue Doctor Coach Laura Humm sits down with author Dennis Kurlas to talk about a scene in Dennis’ work in progress. They talk through the beats of the scene. They discuss how to keep an emotional flow through the beats, why beats should be deleted, and how to keep beats rolling from one to the next. Also, Jeff talks about his time at the annual conference for the Maryland Writers Association and what he learned from the weekend.

Hi Laura and Dennis,
I enjoyed your discussion!
Dennis, thank you for sharing your work, and Laura, thank you for your excellent teaching on how to write a story by separating beats, in this case, emotional beats. Laura, I also appreciated you showing us the flow of the emotional intensity throughout Dennis’s story. Thank you, as always, for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us!
