You are the queen of writing those bromantic scenes, Mare! Question: Whenever you wrote those simple scenes with just the guys having casual conversations about nothing, did you plan those and know what they were going to talk about ahead of time, or did they just evolve naturally? I have fun writing those scenes too, but for me, the best ones are the ones that just spontaneously happen as I'm writing. Even though I'm a planner, I never think to myself, "And now I'm going to write the guys having a conversation about _____." The bromantic scenes I try to manufacture just end up feeling forced.
I agree with what you said about action scenes, too. It's hard because you want to describe what's happening so it's clear, but you can't add too much description, or it slows down the action too much. It's tricky to find the right balance. That's kind of why I hate writing concert scenes or any singing scenes, too - I always feel like they would be so much better in a movie than a story so you can see and hear what's happening. I always have to be listening to the song they're singing when I'm reading those scenes, or I end up just skimming through them.
