WRITING SCENE WEAVES FOR THE NOVELS

Lily Barber, Jockey

Currently, I’m writing out the scene weaves for my third novel, ‘Vengeance: The Secret of Lady Rose.’ It’s a rewrite because after reviewing the draft some weeks ago. I decided to put some more drive into the story. So I’m changing the motive for the murder. The murder type, if you will, is being changed. In addition, the person or persons who committed the murder.

Writing scene weaves are the best ways to write an outline. You can see what the characters will be doing before you write a paragraph or complete the scenes.  

As previously noted in another post, Lady Rose is a financier based on a person I admire, and she’s a black woman who has made a name for herself in America’s business world. Lily Barber, her cousin in the story, is a tribute to an American Jockey who was not well known to the world but was successful in her own right.

Lily aimed to race at Ascot in England, but her dreams ended upon her untimely death by murder. The opening scene for this first draft will be Lily’s pink stables. She didn’t play by the rules in her personal life, so painting the stables pink was her way of showing off to her stuffy neighbours in the Kent village.
