This week, we’re intercutting between two home offices on a virtual call, but this scene is anything but dull!
Location: Inside (INT) – Small, cluttered home offices, intercut
Characters: Jamie (28), Taylor (32)
Set the Scene: Jamie and Taylor, long-distance friends who met online during a gaming tournament, are catching up over a video call. As they chat about shared victories, the conversation takes a sharp turn when Taylor mentions a recent, life-changing event that he hasn’t shared with anyone else.
Prompt: Write a scene where Taylor reveals his secret – or, the secret reveals itself. How does Jamie react to the revelation? What emotional dynamics come into play when sensitive topics are discussed through screens? How does the conversation end?
That's it for this week's Museletter! We hope it inspired you to write. Your stories are important, and every sentence you add brings you one step closer to a finished story you can share with the world!
