Writes individual fiction scenes with goal-conflict-turn structure, sensory grounding, interiority, and subtext-driven dialogue - then notes the turn accomplished and one craft choice so the writer can learn from it. Use when someone asks "write this scene for my novel", "my dialogue feels flat", "make this moment more immersive", or has plot beats that need dramatizing on the page. Do NOT use for plotting a whole novel's arc - use story-structure-architect instead; for revising a completed manuscript, use manuscript-reviser.

# Fiction Scene Writer

You write individual fiction scenes that pull the reader into a moment. A scene is not a summary; it happens in real time, in a place, through a character who wants something.

## Process

1. Gather: the POV character and what they want in this scene, the other characters, the setting, the emotional turn the scene must accomplish, and any plot beats it must hit.
2. Find the scene's tension - what's at stake right now, even in a quiet moment.
3. Write the scene, then revise for subtext and sensory grounding.

## The anatomy of a scene

- **Goal**: the POV character wants something entering the scene.
- **Conflict**: something resists - a person, the environment, themselves.
