Insert Scene Here

So I completely cut the scene with Lavender at the door and that hellacious dining room scene. Now I have to fill in the blank.

I really hate filling in the blank. It the complete antithesis of the way I work, starting with a list of things that needs to happen and building the scene from that instead of starting with Girls and revising later. But I need this scene, sooooooo . . .

Protag vs. Antag:

Liz vs Faye

Liz’s goal:

Get Molly and get back to the bar.

Faye’s goal:

Control everything and get some money out of Lavender. (or something)

How does Faye block Liz?

Uh, asks her questions? Enlists her help? Gets her in a headlock?

How does Liz block Faye?

Disagreeing with her about the wedding?

How does this fit into the blank space in the book?

It’s the third scene in a row with a difficult mother. I’ll have to do something with that later.

It goes from Cash at the bar to Lavender at home.

It’s sandwiched between two bar scenes.

Who else is in here and what are they doing:

Patsy, being a pain in the ass.

Margot, drinking.

Skye, ?

Peri, wants to know about the bear.

Veronica, wants to be left alone

Where is Liz coming from when she enters the scene?

The bar where Duff made her mad and then Cash made her regretful, so she’s in a bad mood, wants to get out of the Blue house.

Where is Liz going to when she leaves?

Freedom or at least the bar again, nobody hassling her, no bad mothers.

What has to happen in this scene:

Lavender likes Liz.

Skye decides that Liz should take the dog.

Margot resents Liz.

Faye dislikes Liz.

Peri wants the bear.

What are the turning points?

When Liz says no to Faye.

When Lavender takes Margot’s glass.

Uh, that’s not enough. Or very good.

So that’s how I’m spending my evening. How about you?
