How do we create scenes? Two Types of Scenes There are two types of scenes, according to Dwight Swain, in the Techniques of the Selling Writer. Scenes –contain story action Sequels –contain story response I’m going to give you a brief overview, then we’ll get into the nitty-gritty of the flow and structure of each type of scene.
