This week we delve into the functions of scene while taking a few detours to touch on apostrophising as well determining what exposition really is. Angie continues to put all of her ducks in a row on her film as the deadline steadily approaches, and Elizabeth is recovering from her most recent novel deadline before launching into the next project. We chat about the relationship between the author and the reader, we give away a few SPOILERS for Angie’s film, and we readily admit how hard the creative process can be at times. Challenge yourself in those areas. It is worth it every time.
