Writing Theory: Scene Transitions

When writing any story, one must bring the reader through a series of events. A transition scene brings both readers or characters into a new point in the story, either a new time, or place or even viewpoint. Transitions ease the load on you as a writer as well save your readers from reading a play by play. So how can we write a good transition?

Movement

A transition usually occurs to bring us to the next part of the story without letting us wait around while the character blunders toward it. A transition is movement, the story or character moving on from the point they're on. A transition should bring the character to a new place, a new time or even a new frame of mind. With the transition, at least one of these should move. For example, "Thomas waited for a sign of her for five minutes before deciding to go after her himself."

Know when it is needed and when not

In truth, sometimes the story carries a transition itself without explanation. Most readers expect chapters to have small transitions between them by default; in some ways a chapter's end and another's beginning is a transition it self. A transition is a step from A to B, a bridge over the fiery pit in Shrek if you will. The transition needs to link A and B. But transitions are not always needed. Trim the fat where you can.

Content

A transition needn't be a thick set of paragraphs explaining how characters get to the next scene, it can literally be a couple of sentences or less. Personally, in transition scenes I try to lull the reader with the pace or allow the character to mull over the previous scene or the plot of the story. I think of transitions as moments where you can plug in threads of something else while the reader/character is following with the story's flow. Let your narrator stretch their legs in the narrative or you can use the time to show their thoughts or even expand the world around the a little.

sapphic artists

just saw a post by @cowgirlhours about how the sapphic music scene is oversaturated by hayley kiyoko, girl in red and king princess and as someone who REALLY agrees i thought i'll mention some of my fave sapphic artists for the tl (only my faves because op already listed many great artists in the replies) :

raveena aurora: bisexual, she/her, american and indian ancestry. her music is so soothing and angelic, and her mvs are super diverse sapphic goodness, with warm colours and soft visuals. incorporates desi aesthetics with lo-fi and r&b. please watch her headaches mv (she romances hitomi mochizuki in it, yet another soft queen), it's like a sofia coppola film if the latter actually had good rep.

rina sayawama: pansexual, she/her, japanese born british. absolutely bomb sapphic pop discography if i may say so myself. just a long string of bops here keep scrolling. not a bad track on the sayawama album. i recommend cherry, bad friend and akasaka sad. ily queen pls collab with kim namjoon :(

janelle monae: pansexual (i think? correct me pls if wrong) she/they. pretty much one of the best voices in this goddamn industry, has a whole sci-fi extended universe of their own complete with an alter ego, and the music on those albums is psychedelic social commentary. their dirty computer ep is gold star from start to finish, i think my fave is i like that.

zolita: lesbian, she/her, german american. am super new to her music but i ADORE her aesthetic, she incorporates her witchcraft into her mvs and music motifs and she has some seksii ass bops. her immaculate conception ep said zoyalina rights. watch the holy mv, it has like, witchy cults and lesbians and a woodsy vibe.

victoria monet: bisexual, she/her. absolutely lush voice and sings of erotic experiences and sexuality which is v.v important for fellow queer and/or woc women especially when we are either absolutely desexualised in media as uwu cotton candy angels or fetishized by men. has collabed and worked with several pop artists. do yourself a favour and stream the jaguar ep, especially the title track and touch me (smutty sapphic song :*)

japanese breakfast (aka michelle zauner): bisexual, she/her, korean-american. mostly sings chill, vintage style whimsical indie numbers that remind me of coming of age films. REALLY loves bisexual lighting in her mvs. more subtle motifs about the queer experience in her songs than the other artists on this list.

phoebe bridgers: bisexual, she/her. you have probably heard of her but idc because i want her to compose the ost of my life, her music is HAUNTING, there is something very whimsical, light and otherworldly about her songs; dare i say camilla macaulay thinks she looks and sounds like this. i would could and should recommend the entire stranger in the alps ep, also killer + the sound. PLEASE listen to this song it's the very essence of dark academia meets an odd sort of tenderness???? idk.

kailee morgue: pansexual, she/her. initially started out as a cover artist. i think she is a practising witch too, like zolita. ok i actually really love her music, the medusa ep is the kind of effervescent punk rock i really vibe with, and i like how she subtly uses greek mythology in her lyrics. siren is my fave song of hers (mv is aesthetic af), and i've also seen medusa as a rec on many lists.

there are a 100+ other artists i'm pretty sure but these are the ones I really like, genre and content wise.

[ i've also listened to clairo, mxmtoon and mitski but tbh their music didn't really work for me. ]
