gateless feedback
With a Gateless mindset, we ask: where is the writer excelling?
Gateless Questions to Consider:
-
Where does the work have energy?
-
What words and ideas are particularly powerful and moving?
-
Where is the craft masterful and seamless?
-
Where is the writing/vision/voice unique?
-
Where does the narrator take risks with the writing?
Scene Analysis:
What does this scene do well? Does it:
-
Advance the plot?
-
Reveal character development or desire?
-
Raise the stakes or increase conflict?
-
Advance an argument around your thematic premise?
-
Feel authentic and true?
For the writer to consider: Based on this scene analysis, is the scene, as currently written, essential, or non-essential to your story?
