I did feel like my amended version of the scene by scene breakdown was more easy to fill out compared to the original version. In particular, it is certainly more suitable for my needs due to my tendency to lose access to my characters. Or rather, I should say that I’m mostly in contact with them via thoughts and their logical thinking and less so regarding personal feelings. That makes sense given the type of person I am but is a weakness in terms of being a fiction writer. Basically, this amended version allows me to home in on my protagonists rather than worry about sidecast and their reactions which often bog down particular scenes in my draft.
On the other hand, the original version is a more bird’s eye view on a scene in terms of its key elements regarding what the ‘key players’ each want and their emotion changes. Depending on the goal for the scene by scene breakdown, that could be more useful.
